We use Calix gigacenter 844E. It will do everything you listed (and a whole lot more) except the VPN part. -Sean On Thursday, May 5, 2016, Ken Chase <math () sizone org> wrote:
Looking around at different SMB firewalls to standardize on so we can start training up our level 2/3 techs instead of dealing with a mess of different vendors at cust premises. I've run into a few firewalls that were not sip or 323 friendly however, wondering what your experiences are. Need something cheap enough (certainly <$1k, <$500-750 better) that we are comfortable telling endpoints to toss current gear/buy additional gear. Basic firewalling of course is covered, but also need port range forwarding (not available until later ASA versions for eg was an issue), QoS (port/flow based as well as possibly actually talking some real QoS protocols) and VPN capabilities (not sure if many do without #seats licensing schemes which get irritating to clients). We'd like a bit of diagnostic capability (say tcpdump or the like, via shell preferred) - I realize a PFsense unit would be great, but might not have enough brand name recognition to make the master client happy plopping down as a CPE at end client sites. (I know, "there's only one brand, Cisco." ASA5506x is a bit $$ and licensing acrobatics get irritating for end customers.) /kc -- Ken Chase - Guelph Canada
