Hi,

I have a Cisco PIX 515e, we use this firewall for Internet traffic and
for VPN's to other 515e's.
We used to have a 501 but we got the 515 in order to give us a greater
throughput over the VPN. This has been achived but it's getting
expensive to shove data over the VPN.

Is there anyway that I can throttle the throughput over the VPN? is it
also possible to do this for general internet traffic too?

regards
Paul Roberts.

PIX 7.x supports Qos; PIX 6.x does not.

Is it straight forward to upgrade from 6.3(4) to 7?

In a word: NO.

The new PIX version should rewrite a lot of your old configuration
automatically, but the structure of inspections in particular
is sufficiently different that you will need time to understand
the new configuration. Cisco says that it should be "seemless", but
I wouldn't do a production machine without having first upgraded a
lab-bench machine.

Thank you Walter for responding.

So there is no other way to cap the internet traffic?
