Hello, We currently are running a Checkpoint NG firewall on a Solaris box with an Enterprise license for unlimited users.
I am looking to set up another identical Solaris box running Checkpoint to be a failover/standby when the first one would fail. I am not looking for load balancing.
My question: Is this functionality built in to the NG firewall software itself? And would we have to pay for another ($20K) Enterprise licence to make this happen?
If this scenario requires another Enterprise license to be purchased, it would probably just make more sense to buy two Cisco PIXes in a standby/failover configuration and save a bunch of money.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
