Re: Netscreen 5GT - use Dual untrust or "Shortest path" to utilize backup link!!

Do you know if the failover is as brutal as a "switch over" effect?
I.e. if untrust1 goes down, untrust2 is used and nothing goes in or out
on untrust1 ?

Try this scenario -

Working in dual untrust mode, two routers setup, both are up (online).
If I try to connect to an internally hosted web server via untrust2 ip
address what happens? Does it not connect because untrust1 is up ?

I've heard of another setup using shortest path first to set two
gateways, one for each router and connect a switch between the two
routers and the firewall i.e. so not strictly 'dual untrusted' but
using two routers none the less.... Does this need trasparent mode to
work like this?!!

confused....
