SNMP router needed??

Can anyone recommend a decent Firewall/Router for <£500.00 that has SNMP
capability, I need it for work, the one I have doesnt have SNMP and I need
to monitor network performace etc.

I have looked a Firebrick, they seem ok

I would be interested in a bonded router as well, somthing that could make
use of 2 adsl connections 2mb

Cheers

Draytek 2600W, 2600G, in fact all of the Draytek's have SNMP

That's not true. SNMP isnt always a guaranteed feature on Vigors, since
its one of the ones Draytek FAE seem to like removing to replace with
other 'features'

Thanks for the comments, but £79 seems a bit cheap for a firewall, I dont
mind paying a bit more

what about a netopia 3346 ENT, based on the old Caymans.
Thats does SNMP.

Go for a Draytek 2600 series, for 100 quid upwards.
We use the 2600X at work on our 1Meg ADSL. I use the 2600W here at home.
Dorset CC use them for VPN.

One of these has been on my own want list for a while as I have both
cable and ADSL and quite fancied bonding them. Might be worth a look:

Most of the modem/routers at around that price point have full
hardware firewalls built in.

Why pay more when you don't need to?

The expensive part of what you originally asked for is the "bonded
router" bit, not the firewall bit.

I've got a ZyXEL ZyWALL 35 - which I got for 305 pounds plus VAT paying
for it pre-release.

The ZyWALL 35 will get load balancing firmware very soon - I think
within a few weeks at most. The load balancing firmware is with the beta
testers at the moment, and was released at the beginning of October for
the ZyWALL 35's big brother, the ZyWALL 70.


The ZyWALL 70 hardware is fairly similar to the ZyWALL 35, so the
firmware shouldn't be that long in coming.

The Z70 has a slightly faster processor (533MHz instead of the Z35's
400MHz), also the Z70 has a different LAN / DMZ Ethernet setup (Z70 has
one DMZ port and four LAN ports, Z35 has four ports each of which can be
configured as DMZ or LAN) and power supply (Z70 has an internal
multi-voltage power supply, Z35 uses an external "wall wart").

On the whole, the Z70 and Z35 are very similar routers - you only need
to opt for the Z70 if you need the higher number of concurrent IPsec
tunnels or higher throughput of the ZyWALL 70. The ZyWALL 70 supports
slightly more NAT sessions, though the ZyWALL 35 should be good for up
to 50 users.


I believe the ZyXEL approach to load balancing is rather more
sophisticated than that adopted by Xrio in the Cyclone 200 (though the
Xrio firmware may well have moved on since the ADSLguide review). You
can get an idea of the various ZyXEL load balancing options by
downloading the ZyWALL 70 3.63 manual from the ZyXEL FTP site.

All the ZyWALLs support SNMP.


One thing you do need to know - you can't "bond" two separate Internet
connections with this kind of kit, though you can load balance between
them. This means, for example, that you can't download a single file at
4Mbits/second if you have two 2Mbit/second connections plugged into a
load balancing router. However, you could download two files each at
2Mbit/second, and leave it to the router to decide which of its WAN
connections to use for each job.

A proper load balancing router should allow you to force certain traffic
down one connection - for example, all traffic to a server only
accessible via one of the ISPs.
