Using a crossover cable is not a good idea. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=firewall-wizards&m=110633896023171&w=2 @@ron Smith Network Operations BYU Idaho On Wed, 2006-09-13 at 10:28 -0400, Horvath, Kevin M. wrote:
Sorry but I don't understand why you have anything between the two firwalls? You are just introducing another piece of hardware that can fail. What type of firewalls are you running? Such as in the case of pix's you should only have once xover cable between them that acts as the heartbeat and can fail everything over to the secondary firewall. Please elaborate. -----Original Message----- From: firewall-wizards-bounces () listserv cybertrust com [mailto:firewall-wizards-bounces () listserv cybertrust com] On Behalf Of Huelsbeck, Harry H.

We have two firewalls, a primary and a secondary. The two firewalls go to a hub which concentrates the two together to the inside network segnment. We plan on replacing the hub with a switch, but I was wondering if there is a better/cheaper solution to concentrate the 2 firewalls together? Seems like a lot of money to waste, if another solution could be used. Please let me know what you have used, or if you know of something better. Thanks in advance for any inputs, Harry _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () listserv icsalabs com https://listserv.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () listserv icsalabs com https://listserv.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
