Firewalls and VPNs

2001-02-16 Thread haroldnjoe
I've read here a couple of times that PIX's don't route. Period. In light of this I'm left a little confused as to a proposed network map I was given recently. The core layer router is a 3640 linking all of our branch offices together. From the 3640, there is an ethernet connection to a PIX

Cisco has been doing a lot of revamping to their certification tracks. For my money, I'm going to get the CCNP/DP first, then worry about any specializations. The idea for me is that the NP/DP will give me a better foundation for whatever it is I want to specialize in. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I recently met with some Cisco presale engineers and asked them about this. The only solution they could present at this time was to have the VPN connection managed by a router at the client end, rather than by individual workstations. Guess we'll have to wait and see about the universal client.

There is a cool little tftp client/server program for windows called Pumpkin. I grabbed it off of tucows. I'm not sure if there's a CE version, but it's worth looking into. The footprint is tiny. [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info:

you really need to go for 2 lines or a full SIMULATOR (group has discussed that one enough) of about 2000$. And on that note, I think the Cisco 2520 is the best router for the money. It does isdn, ethernet and 4 serial connections (two high-speed, two low). These are the routers that I'm
