Hi,
I'm facing a situation, where i have 3 routers ( Cisco high-end routers)connecting to various branch offices, each running HSRP and OSPF protocol. The three routers are terminating on a switch. Now, I would like to introduce a Checkpoint firewall between the routers and the switch to avoid the branch offices connecting directly to the switch. The switch also has a RSM and is using OSPF protocol and has different areas allocated for different VLANS. Now, My problem is that the OSPF cloud is stretching from all over the router to the switch. 1.Can I introduce a firewall, in the first place, between the router and the switch? 2. Does OSPF come in the way of the firewall? Can the firewall understand OSPF? 3. Will the firewall be able to carry out its function correctly?i.e., streamlining the connections from the routers to the switch. Looking forward for a solution....
