Summary


While you might not be using, or even considering, implementing a Highly Available solution within your network, it is a good idea to be aware of the capabilities that Check Point VPN-1/FW-1 offers you.

If you are currently using a highly available solution, this coverage may have given you food for thought and perhaps some new configuration techniques. While most of the focus of this chapter was on the VPN aspects of HA solutions, keep in mind that HA is also a valuable solution for any mission-critical network boundary with cleartext traffic as well.

Finally, this chapter also gave some attention to third-party solutions for HA, such as VRRP and hardware options for high availability. While this book can not go into much detail on the vast amount of HA solutions out there (Windows 2000 clustering and IBM HACMP as two examples), hopefully you have something new to chew on and research.
