Fellas, I was speaking to one of my mates who is the FW administrator using an IBM Secureway firewall as their only border line defence to the Internet... He said that there is no need for any boarder router because this type of firewall performs all the characteristics of a border/screening router...
True / False? It was to my understanding that the border routers provide certain ingress and engress filtering based on IP filters, ACLS etc whereby the FW's drop or allow certain services based on certain network objects etc thus adding an extra level of protection.... Anyone had any experience with this FW before? Any help or feedback appreciated... Nick
