RE: wanted: Cisco PIX Management Tool

["Calhoun, Heath" <CalhounH () gsci state ms us>]

As for views and reports, we used RNR Report Generator for PIX software.
Was very
cheap under $100.  Gave very good reports that allowed us to see who was
using what
bandwidth and protocol.  This was used along with Kiwi's Syslog service for
NT.

Subject: wanted: Cisco PIX Management Tool


Hi there,

we are running 8 Cisco PIX Firewalls now, with the option to get up to 12
more in future. They are all placed at different locations of our Corporate
Network, always as a pair of two redundant PIXes.

Right now, i know three possibilities to manage them:

1. Command Line Interface
2. Cisco PIX Device Manager
3. Cisco Secure Policy Manager 3.x

All three are not really suitable for an efficient management and
administration of a distributed firewall solution...:-(

We need to get reports, views out of them and need to update the configs.

Does anybody know any third-party products for these tasks?

All hints welcome, even open-source, all platforms.

TIA & best regards,

Malte von dem Hagen
