Re: [FW-1] Runnins FW-1 SP5 on a Sun Ultra 5 Sparc.
Thats exactly how we do it - a cold standby.
We have an identical Solaris machine to the live firewall system, but
powered off. It does take about 10 minutes or so to switch over (allowing
for copying over the most recent conf files), which is acceptable in our
environment.

Please respond to Mailing list for
discussion of Firewall-1
How about a cold standy? Get yourself another Ultra or a Netra, something
inexpensive and headless. Build it up as an identical to your primary.
Copy
your config over, test it out some night after hours. Write up a simple
failover
procedure: as simple as switching your wires from one box to the next
(color
coding your networks does wonders to simplify this), clear your arp cache
on
your gateway router, and firing up your secondary.

Subject: [FW-1] Runnins FW-1 SP5 on a Sun Ultra 5 Sparc.
After a crash of our firewall machine a couple of weeks ago and spending
most of the night building a new one, has prompted me to look into some
other method of disaster recovery.
I've looked into High Availability but since I'm using a quad Ethernet
card and four different network legs, I'm not sure that this would work.
If anyone has any suggestions on the method they use to protect their main
firewall machine, I would greatly appreciate an email pointing me in the
right direction.
Thanks in advance,
Richard
