Hi,
1 : it depends on how your routes are managed.
It's easier (sometimes harder to build but easier to maintain) to have a
full dynamic
routing network. but for the firewall admin, it means more ports to
open, multicast adresses to allow,
and a lot of doc reading.
the frontier between network and security becomes thinner and thinner.
2: sometimes, you're forced to use dynamic routing
if you want to forward multicast, you can't use vrrp or hsrp.
so for redundancy reasons you're forced to use dynamic routes.
I don't know anything about other protocols (bgp, etc.), so don't ask me
about those ones :)

Hello,
Can you folks please tell me what your thoughts are on firewalls in a
dynamic routing environment? (OSPF/RIP)
This is for open discussion. I'm not looking for people to write back
and ask me for a more specific question...I just want to know what
everybody's opinions are, from a security point of view, on the
configurations they've worked on.
thanks a lot!!
