Hi there, I have a question which I couldn't find an answer. Our LAN w/ 500+ computers (mostly PCs. Sun servers and NT servers also exist). We want some kind of separation (and security) b/w the departments of the company. Shall we use a layer 3/4 switch or a firewall we couldn't decide. Can anybody compare layer 3/4 switches w/ firewalls w/ stateful inspection using the following criteria: * Management * Thruput * Access control * Logging * Availability * Address translation * Any other useful criteria Thank you in advance Kursat INCE kince () tis havelsan com tr _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () nfr com http://www.nfr.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
