I manage multiple clusters from a single mgmt server, and the consolidated logging is nice, but the biggest benefit, IMHO, is working with a single object base.
Who wants to setup all those groups, hosts, protocols, nets, colors, etc. more than once? You could import/export the objects, but that's an ugly way to synchronize objects. - Dave -----Original Message----- From: Mailing list for discussion of Firewall-1 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of . security Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2005 1:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [FW-1] [FW1] Single Smart Center | Logging question Our firewall environment is about to go through a growth spurt. Currently our standard setup is a SPLAT cluster managed by a Windows Smart Center. We've got as least 3 clusters that will be deployed later this year, all protecting different internet drops. Do I want to manage all clusters with one Smart Center? Or separate Smart Center for each SPLAT cluster? How about logging will all logs go to the same log? Or will a separate log be created for each firewall cluster? Or do I want to look at Eventia Analyzer / Eventia Reporter? I wouldn't mind all of the traffic showing up in one log, I keep tracker up all day like the typical paranoid security guy :) ================================================= 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] ================================================= ================================================= 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] =================================================
