The firewalls I'm using is Lucent Managed Firewall, runing on
Inferno(proprietary os). The hardware is a black box that provided by
Lucent. It has a Pentium Pro 420Mhz processor, 4 interface card. The
management station can be installed in Unix or Win NT platform. The firewall
basically works like a bridge, so it doesn't provide routing capability.
You can either address this or tell me how firewall redundancy at your site
is done. any input is deeply appreciated:)
