hello all! in the context of the recent thread re. trends toward "firewalls-in-silicon" ... AFAIK Xylan (not Checkpoint) did the port of the FW-1 code to the Xylan switches. yes? anyone want to pass on any details of any *direct* (not "I heard that ...") experience with these beasties? Particularly: - how does the box handle IP fragments? - how configurable is its logging eg. can it be configured to pattern match on "abnormal" events? - is is also vulnerable to the the SNMP hole discovered recently? thanks! *------------------*------------------------*-------------------------------* Terry Darling | PO Box 61 Concord West | PGP 2.6 key on request tmd () telecosm com au| NSW 2138 AUSTRALIA | PGP fingerprint: tmd () hum uts edu au | ph: 0411 267852 | 35C42DBFB8B4DF91A8DF6DD6CBB3C89 *------------------*------------------------*-------------------------------* the statements in this message are my opinions, they may have no basis whatsoever in fact & cannot be attributed in any way to my current employer, Support the anti-spam movement; go to <http://www.cauce.org/>
