Symantec Security Gateway 5420
-
FYI - if your bios changes are not sticking, change the bios backup battery. I now have 15 of these 5420s and so far 4 have needed new batteries.

So are these pretty reliable? No issues with lockups when connecting via the web interface (ala Watchguard)?
I'm thinking about picking some up for use in remote offices that have 10 users or so connected to our main office via wireless bridges… -
Yea, great reliability for me. I have a second just in case but this one has been running with no problems for probably close to a year now. About 20 remote sites connected via IPSec and 4 via OpenVPN so it gets plenty of use.
-
So far so good, I have 8 in production use and a couple test boxes. All have been running with no problems.
-
Yup still running here!
I have 3 of them, all with 2gb of RAM.(2) are running Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager ( ;D) on Win Server 2008.
(1) is a VM host for development.Bradford Giosa

I feel silly posting this, but I having a tough time with the serial port connection. Do I have to do anything special to get a serial connection going? I have tried Hyperterm and Putty with a DB9 cable with no success.
-
Fantastic, worked like a charm! For any others curious, it is pretty much exactly as focalguy described. I used HyperTerminal with 9600 8-N-1. Make sure you disable ACPI and have your hard drive plugged in to Primary!! I had it plugged in to Secondary and it failed.
The settings listed there should work. You need to follow the instructions though and do an embedded install so that output goes to the serial port and not VGA.

hi guys!!
I'm trying to put him on 2.0 Beta 5 and I think I have something wrong because it does not start :-), I can put your device.hints?
