SPLAT pro uses another thing that is not Zebra. SPLAT with Zebra doesn't support Clustering configurations (instead of 1 peer shows 2).SPLAT Pro supports Clustering configurations (only one peer is shown to the routing clowd). SPLAT pro has a cute CLI for configuring the dynamic routing. SPLAT with Zebra doesn't support dynamic routing inside the VPN, SPLAT Pro does (with the new Route based VPNs). SPLAT Pro supports Multicasting. SPLAT pro soports centralized RADIUS authentication. You may enable your SPLAT and convert it to SPLAT pro using "pro enable", but you need a license. Is all in the manuals :-) I guess Zebra is there if you feel ok with it, and you want to continue using it. That's fine. My take would be that if you need something more advanced (i.e. Clustering *and* dynamic routing, or route-based VPNs with dynamic routing inside that) SPLAT Pro is the way to go... - MartÃn. ================================================= To set vacation, Out-Of-Office, or away messages, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the BODY of the email add: set fw-1-mailinglist nomail ================================================= To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================= If you have any questions on how to change your subscription options, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] =================================================
