Netscreen user limits? r042wal 09-16-2006

I am working on a proposal for a realestate company. They have one large
office with 20 users, and two smaller offices with 10 or fewer users.
Because they are real estate agents, they are in and out of the office all
the time.

I want to network the three locations with Netscreen 5GT appliances and a
VPN tunnel. Remote users will also connect directly to the Small Business
2003 server (a PPTP endpoint) using PPTP so thay can collect their e-mail
and browse their files. This means the Netscreens will have to pass PPTP VPN
as well as have a IPsec tunnel from Netscreen to Netscreen.

Can I use the 10-user model Netscreen in all cases? The Netscreen counts IP
addresses, but I will not have 20 VPN tunnels created.

You definitely will have issues with the 20 user site if you put a
10-User 5GT device there, only 10 concurrent connections will be
allowed through it.

        Yes, you need the extended license.

        Is this a new proposal? Why aren't you proposing the SSG5
which replaces the 5GT? The 5GT will soon be limited by
memory as ScreenOS is upgraded. If the numbers worked I'd
        use the SSG5 for the VPNs (10-user) and the SSL VPN (IVE)
        for remote access (you'll need to consider the client side costs
        for the VPN with 5GT/SSG5.)
