Hi,

Our network is using Netscreen 5 as a firewall. However, we have realised that a few weeks later, this firewall slows down the whole network for at least 50%. But if we rebooted the box, the network bottleneck is solved...this is a frequent problem.

I am not quite sure if the cause of the problem is due to configuration. Any suggestion from those using Netscreen 5.

Thank you.

Anthony

I purchased Netscreen 5 for our network 2 weeks ago, and found that I was rebooting the unit every 2 hours or so until I checked the model number and found that instead of the NS5 ELITE I had been shipped the NS5 REGULAR. The regular unit limits you to 10 users at a time. Once I received the ELITE box (100 users allowed), the problem vanished. The 10-user Netscreen model no. ends with 001, while the 100-user model no. ends with 010. Hope this helps.
