Hi I have a client running an old GB1000 3.2.2 which maintains VPN tunnels to 3 robox's (3.3.3) and a Nokia firewall as a sister company.
Recently the GB-1000 has become unreliable and overheating. (They've had there moneys-worth though - it's a good 5 years old). I am not interested in the possibility of repairing the gb1000 as its retirement is long overdue. It has done a relatively good job over the years, though the VPN's have never really been rock-solid, they have often required reboots of the gb1000 when they have gone down. I suspect an upgrade of the gb1000 to 3.3 may have solved this but for various reasons it was not possible. I'm considering two options at the moment. My favoured option is replacing the gb1000 with a pix 506e as an 'easy vpn server' and the roboxs with cisco 837's as easy vpn clients (remote office are on adsl), as this will also have the added bonus of getting rid of some rather ancient and crappy netgear routers. However the client has asked about the possibility of replacing the gb1000 with a newer GB and keeping the remote office equipment. Does anyone have experience running a tunnel between these old/new boxes? - ie does it work, is it reliable & would it be a supported configuration by GTA tech support? All thoughts and comments welcome.
