Trunking a Nortel switch to a Checkpoint firewall

[southerly]

Hello,
I have a passport 8006 that I would like to trunk to
a Checkpoint firewall. Has anyone ever done this ? Is there any documentation that would outline this process ? I am not certain of the steps to make this happen.

Nortel uses the term trunking in (at least) two ways, 802.1Q trunks are tagged paths for VLANs, and MLT trunks are redundant paths for link aggregation. Are either of these the trunk you wanted?


I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.

We face dual Checkpoint firewalls with our 8600 and have nothing configured on the 8600 side because the Checkpoint is running VRRP. You may want to do this. It works flawless and has for nearly 4 years.

My needs are more aggregation of VLAN's. I have a pair Lucent switches (Cajun P333's) which are trunked to the Passport presently. I want to take my existing connectivity from the Passport as an aggregation point to the Checkpoint and trunk those VLAN's on the Lucents.
I am assuming this is a somewhat disruptive process.

U must have Nortel Registeration for any kind of Docs related to 8600.
Grab the idea from Nortel Switched Firewall, because Checkpoint use VRRP. a bit understading project.
