Fortigate Software Switch Vs Hardware Switch
Instrukciya po sborke kubika rubika iz zhurnala nauka i zhiznj. I'm looking at replacing my watchguard xtm505 UTM package because the subscription is up and I've pretty much narrowed it down to either replacing it with their xtm 330 box or move to fortinet. I want to keep the features I use on the watchguard solution and I THINK the fortigate-92D, but I just don't know. I want to meet our needs, but I also don't want to spend more than I have to My requirements are as follows: 2x WAN connections (assume each are ~40/40Mb) - want to load balance outbound and have rules based on inbound (each WAN has multiple static IPs) 2x physical boxes run in active/passive cluster for hardware failover UTM functions similar to watchguard's webblocker, spamblocker, and A/V VLAN support VPN access to a fixed site running a dynamic IP with a watchguard x26 box VPN access for a dozen remote mobile users mostly running windows and iPhones. (currently mostly using the watchguard SSLVPN option and PPTP option) I use the firewall as our gateway for all vlans and would prefer to do this, but I suppose I could do this with one of our switches, but I like the added control of L3 I get doing it on the firewall. I currently have the firewalls configured to have our vlans split across three trusted ports on each firewall to provide some increased throughput, but 1Gb bandwidth for the gateway could be sufficient. When I looked at those requirements and the performance load on our existing xtm505's, I found I could get away with a cheaper watchguard box that would meet our needs (the xtm330).
Fortigate changing Switch/Interface mode. Select the type as Software or hardware switch depending on your model. ← Fortigate 5.2+ SSL VPN Address Dynamic.
Some people love to bash the Watchguard system here, but I haven't really had a major problem with it, but that doesn't mean I'm not open to alternatives. Watchguard used to seem to be the best bang for the buck, but I'm open to ideas here. I'm looking for a 3-year UTM option and that comes out to about $2100 through watchguard with my minimal purchasing power so any alternative needs to be close to that price.
Thanks for the help. We run a few Fortigate clusters in similar setups as you've specified. Just check the throughput spec's for the model you're looking at as they differ for AV/Web FIltering/VPN etc. VPN support is pretty good on the Fortigates, but in regard for your site-to-site with the Watchguard assuming it sticks to standards then IPSEC should be fine. Memory usage is the only concern on the lower model units if you're running a lot of UTM. Dual WAN / VLAN etc are all standard and the clustering features of the Fortigates are quite nice.
I was hoping the 92D would be enough. It says AV @ 300mb, SSL-VPN @ 170mb, IPS @ 950mb. Keygen wic reset key for epson printer. Those are enough, but I do worry that is isn't if those numbers drop when its doing more than just that one task.
