I sympathise totally - we were left with a screwy SecureView which is a
load of old %$*& and I am looking to replace with Webtrends or Telemate.
Anyway - I am looking into Floodgate-1 also and it looks as though you
pretty much HAVE to run it on the fw - otherwise there are a ton load of
tweaks needed to make it work.
I am looking at Packeteer right now and hoping that this is a better
alternative to Fgate but I can't tell yet as I can't find out whether I
can segregate at pipe level (all services) and then services wthin them.
(if anyone out there knows please tell):-
Requirement:-
2Mb Physical Pipe
Split into 2 'virtual pipes' of 1.5 and 0.5 Mb
Each has its own independent prioritisation (e.g. on corporate pipe core
apps get top billing, on research pipe http get top billing)
I normally like to ward off sales people with a broomstick but if anyone's
listening..... ;-)

23/08/00 Subject: [fw1-wizards] floodgate - 1
06:31
this fellow was installed by a consultant last year and i am just looking
at
it now. Bugger doesn't work, no matter what strange rules i set up (just
to
prove it i allocated all the bandwidth to incoming SMTP, and no-one noticed
the difference).
being a total newbie with this particular module i started wandering around
the checkpoint site for info. I notice that the minimum memory
requirements
are 192 MB. We are running floodgate on the same hardware as the
firewall-1
(compaq proliant 1600, windows nt 4.0 sp4 w/ hotfix, 128 MB memory, PII 350
MHz). This is way below the minimum memory requirement of course. My
question is if you have under the memory requirements should floodgate
behave like this, ie just do nothing? One would expect it to complain and
refuse to install, or perhaps the service should refuse to start (its quite
happy to start) if it hard memory requirements, and not install, start up,
and then do nothing (not even complain to the event log).
also what is the general feeling about separate hardware for this module,
how strongly is it indicated?
if my questions seem rather stupid it is because i am just getting started
with this thing, trying to clean up a mess that a consultant has left
behind. As i get more info the standard of my questions will improve.
regards, etc.
