A&nbsp;way to stress test is to set it up in a dummy network offline with say 2 servers or computers (with the firewall in path so traffic has to go through it) and install some sort of packet generating software on either or both servers/pc's and crank up the traffic. I'm not sure if its the best method but it will definitely work.</P> Thu, 30 Jun 2016 11:02:21 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/cisco-firewall-stress-test/m-p/2852057#M157191 jonathanlunt 2016-06-30T11:02:21Z
