Hi,
I have a couple of questions regarding migrating from a Cisco 1720, which was configured to support VPN and firewall, using ADSL.
Now we would like to move to an Ethernet 10/10 connection.The provider offers a Cisco 1841.
My questions: a) Can I just export/import the config settings - as displayed, using show run - from the old router to the new?
b) I want to keep the ADSL connection basically as a backup feed, optimally as a backup feed, which is also used, but only until the maximum allowed data transfer per month is not yet reached.
Can I reach this goal with the 1720 and 1841 or it would require a different, single router, which is able to handle and bond together both connections, monitor them for fail over if the 10/10 link is down and keeping track how far can the ADSL link also be utilized as an extra resource?
c) I also have a Cisco Pix available - does it have an advantage over the firewall function in the 1841?
d) Is it possible to use maybe Snort for a real-time, dynamic update of the Cisco firewall rules, in case an attack is detected?
Thank you for all the kind advice.
Regards, Nick
