Hi all.
There's been quite a lot of traffic here recently about providing HA designs
for environments using FW-1's based on NT or Unix flavours, either by using
software based products such as Rainwall or Stonebeat, hardware switches, or the
basic state sync approach.
What are the options for HA when using Nokia's? From what I have seen s/w
solutions don't cater for the Nokia's, and hardware (and VRRP) solutions are
fine if the firewalls are in close proximity to each other, but what about two
Nokia's, one each in each (distant) location - what then are the options for
providing a reasonable level of fault tolerance?
Maybe the only option is to have a pair in each location making use of VRRP?
This has some similarities I guess to the recent thread about dual-homing,
though this is on a private network rather than having to deal with ISP's.
Does anyone have any thoughts? Our integrator is coming in to discuss the
options, but forewarned is forearmed...
Regards
Simon
