"the boxes won't integrate well into the existing NGX environment here. Can anybody tell anything regarding this?"

My comment would be "say what?" NGX is only a few months old and I would expect it to integrate better, not worse. SmartLSM is supposed to be able to handle this exact situation, although I've only messed with it on a small test implementation.

You can pull policy from SmartCenter, you can upgrade the Edge firmware, etc. I'd ask him for specific examples of issues they have had.

You should make sure you're on the current firmware. Check Point released v5.0.92 within the last day or so. There were several Edge management issues that have been resolved with various HFAs to SmartCenter as well. I think it's a very stable system now.

Subject: [FW-1] Large scale Edge implementations - experiences?
Date: Wed, 7 Sep 2005 12:58:33 +0200

Hello,

I have 130 branch offices which I want to deploy a HA firewall / vpn gateway, centrally managed from the main site. My reseller told me that he has no good experiences with such large scale implementations - the boxes won't integrate well into the existing NGX environment here. Can
anybody tell anything regarding this?
I already tested ISS Proventia boxes, management is crap here, CP is much better.
Steffen
