Hi All,

Has anyone set up two Nokia IP650s with VRRP for high availability?
I'm a bit confused as to how to set it up the best way.

I presumed it is set up by assigning a single, shared external IP (1 default 
external gateway, assigning a single, shared internal IP (1 default internal 
gateway) and a unique ip on each fw so that the management station can 
administer each box. You can then configure Synchronization on the fws to 
keep rules and objects up to date.

But, after looking at an official Nokia IP650 support doc, it recommended 
the following VRRP scenario:
The primary fw and secondary fw have unique external and internal IPs. 
Should the primary fw die, the secondary will assume the ip of the primary 
fw.
You could also have a scenario where both fws backup each other and network 
objects and all traffic is split equally between them. This method surely 
creates additional administration and configuration overhead.

So, does anyone have a recommended approach to setting up VRRP between two 
fw 4.1s SP3, and do you recommend combining this with Check Point High 
Availabilty module with Synchronization??

Thank you kindly,

Gabriel
