Hi Checkpointers, we are intend to use the new Checkpoint ********************** [EMAIL PROTECTED] Appliances ********************** and are very interested in feedback from people who already started to use it. Any responses to some of the questions below would be greatly appreciated. - is it based on Checkpoint "Small Office Software" ? does the WebGui was improved in the Appliance ? No, they called it Embedded NG (does not support SmartDefense, AI, QoS,Load sharing...) If you have CP SmartCenter, you can use VPN-1 Edge instead. Since the [EMAIL PROTECTED] is for one single office management locally (no central management). VPN-1 Edge can be managed by SmartCenter centrally. - is there a cost free Management Server bundled like in former CP small Office Versions ? No. The Management server bundles is for a short period of time. Then even u buy SmallOffice, you only can use the WebGUI. Both [EMAIL PROTECTED] & VPN-1 Edge have WebGUI. From the latest firmware, you can customize the firewall rules in the WebGUI. - Management only by WebGui or also from Management Server (Smart Center Server) Handling of the rules with the WebGui ? Only VPN-1 Edge can be management by SmartCenter. Here's the details for the diff between [EMAIL PROTECTED] & VPN-1 Edge http://sofaware.infopop.cc/6/ubb.x?a=tpc&s=5006072361&f=2406072361&m=3596037815 - experiences with "sql net" via vpn check the throughput on the website - vpn Experiences with Checkpoint Next Generation FP1-3 as vpn - partner ? Tested to build VPN with CP 4.1 and NG FP3 successfully. - Possibility for Gateway-Gateway vpn ? Depends on the model of the appliance, some only support Client-to-site, some supports Gateway-to-Gateway, check with the vendor for the model or take a look at www.sofaware.com - Logging, Logserver ? Local logs on webUI, syslog or SmartView Tracker (VPN-1 Edge only) - Backup Yes, there's an option in WebUI - Costs for Checkpoint [EMAIL PROTECTED] Update Service ?
