Tiivistelmä
Presently, the importance of networking enjoys popular support all over the world. Accordingly, networking companies have been trying to meet or even surpass the requirements of clients in order to strengthen their customer relationships. For the clients, obtaining the maximum of profit and minimizing operational cost is the essential problem. Therefore, networking companies should conduct a reliable and continuously available system for their customers to avoid downtime risks or hardware failure.
The High-Availability (HA) is a reliable technique of system. It is capable of protecting the system by involving redundant equipment to set up a standby group, which could ensure that if one forwarding piece of equipment failed, t another backup piece of equipment would be activate to take over the work immediately. In this thesis, the KingGuard firewall is utilized to test the performance of High-Availability technique which belongs to the Lenovo Security Technologies, Ltc. This thesis is expected to simulate the real user environment now in the company, as well as deal with different situations of fault tolerance. The whole testing procedure combined with the HA testing topology simulates the availability of KingGuard firewall in real-world scenario, with the purpose of creating a relatively comprehensive way for HA testing in networking.
