for now, i'll be needing 2 firewalls. one <100 stations (but getting close), and the other of several 100's. these r 2 separate network w/ very limited datacom betwn them, each w/ multiple subnets w/ their own policies. i never saw my 2600 router on the small net breathing heavy. don't think i ever say it at >%10 cpu util. i'm relatively certain that it won't work too hard even w/ the fw feature set. another major concern of mine is multiple learning curves. how different is the user interface for configuring a policy on a pix box vs. the ios fw feature set? if i'm going to be saving only a small amnt of $, and if the configuration interface is significantly different, then i'll probably end up loosing in the end. tnx ams avraham shir-el director of computing center jerusalem college of technology - machon lev p. 972-2-675-1163 > FROM - Paul Stewart <pauls () nexicom net> > WHEN - 2 June 2003, 08:21 > SUBJ - RE: [fw-wiz] pix vs. ios firewall feature set > TO - avraham () jct ac il, firewall-wizards () icsalabs com > > I posed this question previously and was told that almost all features at > incorporated into the IOS.
