[QUOTE="bazang, post: 1120837, member: 114717"] Buying a commercial/enterprise firewall appliance, switches, routers, etc - it's good as a learning exercise and for "labbing," but not much else unless the person wants and intends upon investing a lot of time and effort into the project. In the end you compare the time & effort versus the benefit, and that equation is not a very good one (negative) for most people. People in IT that are seeking OEM/hardware certifications usually are the ones to purchase firewall appliances and such, like Fortinet, HP, Cisco, etc. They have to otherwise they will never pass the certification exam(s). Edit: You have to purchase brand-new, never used. So it is expensive. After market reselling of used enterprise hardware is a very risky roll of the dice. Still expensive and often you lose your money. [/QUOTE]
