Thanks. What model do you have? -----Original Message----- From: N Parr [mailto:npar...@mortonind.com] Sent: Thursday, September 17, 2009 10:12 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Abandoning Cisco (UNCLASSIFIED) I'm sure it can but we don't because we don't care for the short amount of down time that would be incurred and I don't have any remote critical resources that would be severely hindered. The cert that's loaded on the ASA wouldn't match the secondary connection. I guess we could load multiple certs? Mainly the failover is to keep internal resources like mail and outside connectivity going. Our failover connection is our secondary MX so mail keeps working. -----Original Message----- From: Richard Stovall [mailto:richard.stov...@researchdata.com] Sent: Thursday, September 17, 2009 9:07 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Abandoning Cisco (UNCLASSIFIED) If it fails over to the second ISP, does it automagically make your published internal resources (webservers, etc.) available to the outside on the backup connection? Sort of a poor man's version of BGP-type functionality using short DNS TTL values or anything like that? -----Original Message----- From: N Parr [mailto:npar...@mortonind.com] Sent: Thursday, September 17, 2009 10:02 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Abandoning Cisco (UNCLASSIFIED) I agree for the price and simplicity. And I don't claim to be a Cisco guru by any means. We have one that runs everything in our main office. Client VPN, SSL/VPN with custom portal pages tied to AD for employee's, Hardware VPN with another ASA at a remote warehouse for Computer/IP Phone connectivity. And it auto fails over to our secondary DSL connection if our primary goes down. It's our poor mans Terminal services solution. Employee's can RDP through the built in Active X or Java client to their personal computers via the SSLVPN. -----Original Message----- From: Mayo, Bill [mailto:bem...@pittcountync.gov] Sent: Thursday, September 17, 2009 8:11 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Abandoning Cisco (UNCLASSIFIED) Not that anybody cares, but I can spell "differences". I think I changed the original sentence and don't know how I wound up with that. I die a little bit inside every time I see another message come through with that quoted. Anyway, I would just add that the ASA is a good box, that is very reasonably priced (at least by Cisco standards). If you are coming from a Pix, the transition should be very easy. -----Original Message----- From: Kent, Larry CTR USA IMCOM [mailto:larry.k...@us.army.mil] Sent: Thursday, September 17, 2009 9:07 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Abandoning Cisco (UNCLASSIFIED) Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: FOUO Get a Juniper... -----Original Message----- From: Mayo, Bill [mailto:bem...@pittcountync.gov] Sent: Wednesday, September 16, 2009 5:10 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Abandoning Cisco Expensive????? Our Pix cost over $8000 in 2001, we bought *2* ASA's to replace it and still paid less than that in 2007. There are some differents in the OS between the Pix and ASA, but they are very similar. If you can manage a Pix, you can manage an ASA--at least in my experience. -----Original Message----- From: mqcarp [mailto:mqcarpen...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 16, 2009 4:58 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Abandoning Cisco Has anyone else looked at abandoning Cisco for their firewall? We have PIXs and they are trying to get us to move to ASA now that they are phasing out. The ASA is very expensive and from what I hear, very complicated to manage. We are a medium sized business and do not need this IMHO. Has anyone else left Cisco in this role for products like Sonicwall? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: FOUO ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
