Hi everyone. I have a home lab with a Cisco 3560G and just got a CheckPoint 2200 to play with. I was wondering if these two devices could be combined to replace the typical home gateway router. The 3560G can do routing, but not NAT, however the CheckPoint can do NAT so I was hoping to leverage that more so than its firewall capabilities.
I have a DOCSIS modem with a DHCP assigned address that would need to be assigned to the untrusted interface of the checkpoint. Modem will go to checkpoint, checkpoint to 3560G, all devices to 3560G.
Is this even possible/worth it? I figure the best way to get experience will be to "manage" a "production" network at my house instead of pinging devices in a lab setup.
