[nsp] pix 6.3

[Voll, Scott]

Have you done any testing with NAT and Static Nat with the H323
endpoints?  I hate having to break down class C ranges just to give one
address to the router and one to the endpoint.

Interoperability of many vendors' endpoints mostly.  We found that prior
to 6.3, interoperability was lacking thru the pix.  Some
interoperability that worked using a switch, failed thru the pix.  In
addition, we tested gatekeeper and MCU functionality.  We have a ton of
distance learning via H.323 in our state-wide network, and many sites
have firewall issues with H.323.  With 6.3, interoperability was 100%
among all vendors' endpoints we tested.  This process provided us a
better understanding of what our customers are experiencing and allowed
us to interact better in helping them.

Our SE pointed out somewhere in the process that prior to 6.3, their
H.323 support did not include H.323 version 3 or 4.  He says 6.3 is the
first to support those.  These endpoints use H.323 v3/4, which we
believe is the cause of the interop problems pre-6.3.

What kind of testing have you been doing with h.323 with the new 6.3
code??? NAT?

Recent info I have says June 11, 2003.  We have been testing H.323 on
6.3, with great success.

Hello...

	Docs for the PIX OS v 6.3 have been available for awhile, the
not the software image itself.

OSPF, yea!
Local user authentication database
AES


Anyone know if it is almost here, or should I stop holding my breath :)?

Let's face it, there's no Hollow Earth, no robots, and
no 'mute rays.' And even if there were, waxed paper is
no defense.  I tried it.  Only tinfoil works.
