[FW1] Where to place a VPN gateway

Title: [FW1+vpn] VPN with pix and firewall 1

Hi All,

 

Is there something wrong with the mailing list. I haven't received any message for the past two days.

 

Our company has decided to use the Nortell VPN gateway 4500 box. Our VPN group wants to put it outside of the firewall on the Internat and directly connect the other interface into the local network. Our VPN group has been told that the Nortel box is very secure!

 

We would like to secure the vpn box and have the connection go through the firewall. What is the best place to put a vnp gateway?

 

 

Here is the present scenario

 

Internet  -----------------------------------------> FW ------------------------------------------------> Local Net

|                                                                                                            ^

|                                                                                                            |

|                                                                                                            |

|-------------------------------------------> VPN Gateway -------------------------------------   |
