Some Questions about the firewall selection

["Eric Ong" <eric.ccong () gmail com>]

Hi all,

I have some questions about the firewall selection. May I ask you a
few questions of ...

1) If you need to select a firewall, you perfer 1) Check-Point 2)Cisco
or 3) FortiGate
2) If there is huge account of network traffic, is it a good ideas for
using the Firewall as a router?
3) If price is not primary selection factor, you perfer to use H3C or
CISCO as the core switch? Will H3C or CISCO is more reliable than
others?
4) Do you perfer to use a 3-leg firewall design or 2-tier firewall design?
5) for the internal firewall at the 2-tier firewall design, the
internal firewall should work as a transparent bridge mode or routing
mode?

Thanks a lot

Eric
