| Summary: | Check Point VPN-1/FireWall-1 is used by many enterprises who have to rely on a robust firewall and VPN implementation. Because these infrastructural I/T strongpoints have to be 100 percent available, appropriate mechanisms for load balancing and high availability need to be in place. The IBM AIX operating system, in conjunction with IBM HACMP and the IBM Network Dispatcher, promise to deliver just that. This IBM Redbooks publication explains the setup and configuration for stand-alone as well as high availability solutions for Check Point VPN-1/FireWall-1 V4.1 on AIX. An IBM HACMP cluster provides 100 percent availability for FireWall-1 and VPN-1 configurations, and IBM Network Dispatcher implements high availability and load balancing for FireWall-1 setup. This book is a valuable resource for security and firewall administrators and architects who wish to understand and implement a high availability solution for their Check Point VPN-1/FireWall-1 on AIX.
