Maybe there are different degrees of sucking, but juniper support is absolutely horrid.
As far as which vendor I would go with, it probably depends on $$$ and throughput demands. Junipers firewalls kick Cisco's ass in terms of throughput (Although I hear a newer products coming in the fall...). If the expectation is to run a routing protocol on the firewall, and you are stuck on EIGRP that's obviously an issue. If you can afford the extra money for the juniper it's a nice product. If you grow your infrastructure - do yourself a favor and stay the f!ck away from NSM. -- Regards, Jason Plank CCIE #16560 e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Gert Doering <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Hi, > > On Thu, Aug 09, 2007 at 06:43:28PM +1000, Dale Shaw wrote: > > Alas, the routing protocol is EIGRP.
