Hi list,
I'm about to set a vpn with a partner and my natural choice was freeswan
since I'm using a linux firewall. The partner on the other end of the
vpn is rock solid in his demand that we use nortel though and as I
haven't extensive freeswan experience do I feel i lack arguments, except
the obious like cost and that we'd have to put the nortel behind the
firewall adding one extra mashine to maintain.
He (the partner's) argumentation is basicly "we've had problems before
with others who wanted other systems, a nortel can be set up in two
hours and we'll have it all working". I'm not fully buying this
argumentation as we will set the nortel up in four different locations
with four similar firewalls and I figure once we get the first working
with freeswan it'll be basicly just to transfer the config scripts to
the other firewalls.
The system the partner use is 'Cisco Pix 515 firewall or a Nortel
Contivity switch' and as far as I could see in the freeswan docs are
these supported, right? The systems they want us to use are three
'Nortel 100s Contivity switch/ firewall' for three low traffic
locations and a 'Cisco B2B VPN' for one high traffic location with up
to 11 concurrent sessions.
Will it be hard to set up? Will a P2 350 be enough for our 10Mbit
connection? Can you add some arguments for me?
Unfortunately doesn't I have the last saying, if they go NO I'll have to
use their nortel/cisco sollution so I need good arguments.
/Jon
