Summary: Fortigate 300A
Thanks for all the responses. (However, I didn't get as much responses as I expected) Here is the summary: Total responses Received: 05 (including one works for a Fortigate competitor and one for a reseller) Comments varies from "very bad product" to "I'm impressed". Certain GUI problems were mentioned. Also mentioned that it was not capable of handling Dial-up traffic. Works fine as a managed firewall for an ISP. Operates fine in both transparent and routing/NAT modes * The bottom Line: Acceptable product, watch-out for some GUI pit-falls. We however, decided to go for it -- Priyantha P Kumara --- Network Services Manager Wightman Internet

Cisco switch CPU overload
I've a core switch (cisco 5505) with 10+ VLANs configured on that and a cisco 7204 directly connected to it. 7204 then connects to my upstream and we run BGP. we announce two different /21 blocks and was fine until last week. We got new /20 IP block and we advertised it (added to 7204 config). Everything is working fine but since than we see CPU overload from time to time on 5505. The following further explains the physical connection. |---| |---| Internal| |---| |>Upstream <-|5505 | |7204 | |---| |---| We have Rip (ver 2) running on 5505 but not on 7204. (Those two are not talking any routing protocols each other.) I can't figure out the reason but want urgently get this resolved. You may contact me off list too for further info necessary. Thanks in advance, Priyantha Pushpa Kumara Wightman Internet Ltd.
RE: Cisco website www.cisco.com 403 forbidden?
I can access it from Canada, but it seems that the first page is missing some info which are typically there.

The AVScanner should indicate that the file couldn't scan because it is password protected and hence opening the file may be risky. Priyantha
Server mirroring
As a part of business continuity plan we are going to have all our servers replicated in a different place to which a fiber connection is available. (Currently its running at 100Mb) Servers are running mostly RH Linux 7.2 to 8.x and couple of Win 2000 servers too. I'm looking for a non-expensive software solution for this task. Your help is appreciated, Priyantha
RE: Activity logging & archiving tool
