With these kind of questions it would be helpful to know what kind of environment you have and what are the requirements for firewall. Such as number of users, number of firewalls, protocols routed through fw(http, SQL*Net, ftp, etc..), High availability requirements, routing protocols..
You didn't mention if you were considering Cisco IOS with or without firewall feature set. Or could it be that you mean Cisco PIX not IOS? Cisco IOS primary function is routing and Checkpoint NG's primary function is filtering traffic. Cisco IOS with firewall feature set (or even without) can be quite enough for certain environments. Even large corporations with certain characteristics. rgds, Harri > -----Original Message----- > From: ext vishwas asemend [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 17 January, 2002 11:56 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Comparison between checkpoint and Cisco IOS firewall > > > Hi all, > I want to choose a firewall. > and finally i came to two firewall , checkpoint and cisco-ios > > can anybody tell me the advantages and disadvantages of cisco_ios > and checpoint NG or 4.1 > > Regards > Vish > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------ > Get your free email from http://www.netjaal.com > _______________________________________________ > Firewalls mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://lists.gnac.net/mailman/listinfo/firewalls > _______________________________________________ Firewalls mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnac.net/mailman/listinfo/firewalls
