Unfortunatly, it's hard to believe the nokia IP120 is working well. There are complaints on the phoneboy's fw1-wizard mailinglist about this device. It may work with older version of the software but should be avoided for the latest firewall-1 version.
With Checkpoint (as with PIX), You just can't run the latest revisions of their code. In fact, I'd like to find one major backbone provider who runs the latest revision of IOS. It simply doesn't happen.
It is especially true if you want some 'advance' features such as vpn.
I can't vouch for the IP120's ability to properly run VPN. We ran all of our VPN through the IP120 using Cisco products. Checkpoint FW-1 has a terrible VPN implementation and couldn't provide the encryption functions that we needed.
In one word, the nokia IP120 is a no go for professionals that do not want nightmares.
I think many "professionals" are still using the IP120 without issue, but with certain limitations. --john _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com http://honor.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
