Last week I changed jobs and employer and took over a Network Admin position. Their is no documention of the current the network. My first task is to update their existing firewall. This company has a T1 to the parent company and 12 Frame Relay connections to internal branch offices. It’s an all CISCO network with the exception of the firewall. The current firewall is an AXent Raptor Firewall V6.0 for NT. Now I’m to review to two choices for implementation:
(1)Installation of a free upgrade to the Symantec Enterprise Firewall with Symantec Enterpise VPN Ver 6.5.
(2) Installation of Symantec VelociRator 700.
We have future plans of implementing a point to point VPN at each Frame location, install DSL, and eliminate the cost of the Frame connections.
Is anyone utilizing either of the two products?
Are you satisfied with the results?
Which one would you recommend utilizing?
Also are you utilizing any Intrusion Detection Software?
