[AusNOG] Firewall

Hi

Interesting, I just went to VMUG yesterday, listen to a lot about NSX… Previously tried to stay away because of the enterprise licensing cost, but relooking at it again.

I noticed nobody mentioned it in the hypervisor env
Is anyone running soft routers (VMs/non Hardware) as an ISP/provider.

I thinking you can’t beat silicon for pure switching … routing ?? and then coupled with something further up the stack, does switching/routing on the host of a hypervisor make more sense ?

Sounds like an odd request... you mean it MUST be a Server based Firewall?

If that is an issue, get around it by going VMware and using vASA or vSRX?

Hi All,

I know this is strange but we have a specific requirement for a customer.

Does anyone know or recommend a firewall / UTM software that can be installed on an existing Windows, Redhat, SuSE, or Centos Server.

We would prefer a commercial package.

We cannot overwrite the existing os and have to work within any of the above mentions platforms only.

Kind Regards

Sam
