If it group fw-rules or use multiple aliases in single rule, then it would be perfect.

I first passed the CCNA about 8 years ago, and finished half the CCNP several years back. Looking to move to the CCIE within the next year.

I use dynamips for much of my Cisco testing and experimentation, it’s a really nice emulator that runs actual IOS images (that you provide). It’s not like the various limited simulators out there, it’s equivalent to running a real router.

Much of the knowledge you gain when learning Cisco gear is applicable across all network devices including pfSense. Every network professional is going to encounter Cisco devices, it’s important knowledge to have.

Sometimes Cisco is a better fit, though in most environments pfSense offers equivalent functionality at a significantly reduced cost.

This was only to help me learn cisco better and to work on getting my ccna, and hopefully my ccnp one day. That being said. I MISS PFSENSE! This router is missing a lot of the functionality, the performance (I can’t afford a cisco with more memory, etc…) and for the cost… (FREE!) This router OS cant be beat in my opinion. I’ve used smoothwall in the past, and it doesn’t come close to pfsense.
You guys have done an amazing job in my opinion!

Saved my company over $20k in support and hardware costs because we chose pfSense over Cisco for our hosted services network.

I have 2 more active/passive failover setups in action with 1.2-RELEASE and I haven’t been happier. Just rock solid in and out all day long.

Thanks for a great product.
