I don't know about your specific configuration or the prices you were quoted, but last time I priced Check Point products for a client failover was included with VPN-1 Pro and load sharing license was only another few thousand. For a smaller network where an IP1xx or IP2xx is plenty, I suppose the Nokia's might be cheaper. But I can't say that I've ever seen anybody attempt VRRP with a pair of IP130's. :) For a larger network where you'd deploy an IP5xx or IP7xx, however, an x86 server with similar performance would be roughly half the cost of the Nokia.

The cost to convert our existing and the maintence on these licenses exceed most Nokia hardware prices which comes with VRRP for free. _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com http://honor.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
