    CheckPoint Firewall problem

    Wondering if anybody that manages Checkpoint firewalls can help me. We upgraded from Cisco ASA to checkpoint and on one of our VPN tunnels we translate the source IP addresses from an inside network. ( i.e. 10.1.1.0 /24 to 10.90.90.0 /24) and then send the traffic over the tunnel. The other...

    Cisco ASA open port range to network segment

    What is passive mode? Why is their server rejecting the requests? If the requests are reaching their server shouldn't that be their issue? Or is the issue the ASA blocking the data back on its return?

    Cisco ASA open port range to network segment

    You don't have to use object groups, but when you are creating an access list for multiple hosts. You can create a object group that points to the hosts. Its a best practice and a good way to document configurations so the admin after you will understand the config.

    Cisco ASA open port range to network segment

    More on the lines of this for the access list: access-list outside_access_in permit tcp any 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 range 989 991 I've never seen port forwarding to a whole subnet before only individual hosts. But I'm guessing it can be done.

    Certs vs Experience?

    Experience is better than certification. Gaining certification is the part where you learn how to do a job and a paper that certifies that you can do the job. Experience is you actually performing the job.

    Dealing with none technical IT Managers

    My manager can talk about technology like he invented it to other people who are not technical at all. But as far as really knowing how stuff works; he doesn't have a clue. I have to tell him if it will work or not or what the impact is etc. In my dept, the managers focus primarily on the...

    Unemployed? Good at Networking? Let's Talk!

    Sounds like a good offer if the pay is in the 75k 85k range. You will also need a senior network engineer though; somebody with 10 years plus experience.

    Business Need: Wirelss Access Points

    So out of the whole conversation you nitpick my wording? I live in small country where we don't even have a university. I work for the second largest employer here, so huge was the correct wording. I understand in the US you have major cities and major universities. I was hoping you was going...

    Business Need: Wirelss Access Points

    For the thread creator. To make things easy. You can get poe access points run cat5e or cat6 from a poe switch. That way you don't have to worry about finding power in the ceiling. The WCS does make it a bit easier. You can create maps that show RF prediction and it's easier to troubleshoot...

    Business Need: Wirelss Access Points

    I agree. Just manually configure 3 APs in stand-alone mode. You don't need a controller or central management for 3 access points. hey cyr0n_k0r, I manage a huge Cisco wireless network as well currently 160+ APs. Some 1131s, 1141s, and 3500s. Maybe you could share some ideas. We have a...

    Future for IT pros?

    Properly designed networks hardly ever go totally down. There may be a slight outage somewhere but not the whole network. Some industries which vitally rely on their data, will most certainly have on-site IT support staff even if they are using the cloud to host some of their services. The...

    Future for IT pros?

    These 3 factors affect almost all jobs not just IT but you are correct. Robotics halted the growth of factory jobs and assembly lines. A depressed economy encourages organizations to cut back and conserve. Outsourcing works great sometimes but in other cases it doesn't work at all and adds to a...

    Future for IT pros?

    I was just having this exact conversation at work today. There is a strong future for IT people. I work for a hospital and my managers like the idea of having support on-site staff. All the switches, access points, servers etc. have to be managed and yes all these devices can be accessed...
