I have a SunScreen EFS 3.0b running on a Sun E250 box in
Stealth mode. I also have a quad card on the Firewall
machine. I currently have hme0 (ADMIN) and qfe0 (SPF 100Mbps)
coming from a Cisco Catalyst 2900 Switch to the Firewall
and I have qfe2(SPF) going to a BayStack 350T Switch which
have 12 ports. That allows me to attach 11 HOSTS to the
350T.
I am thinking about changing that box to a Cajun P330 with
48 ports. According to the SunScreen Ref manual, the Firewall
can support as many as 15 interfaces. I interpret that as
I can add two more quad cards, which will give me 12 interfaces
plus hme0 for a total of 13 interfaces connected to the Firewall.
Conceptually, I could have eleven of the quad interfaces
connected to a Cajun P330 which would allow me to connect over
500 HOSTS.
Is such a configuration possible?
If so, is there a limit to the number of HOSTS I can connect?
Even if the 15 interfaces refers to the maximum no matter how
you connect them, how could I increase throughput on qfe0 since
it only supports 10/100 Mbps in Stealth mode?
