RE: Lucent Managed Firewall

[<adam () fscinternet com>]

 I've been working with the LMF for a while now, and I'm quite 
impressed with
it.  Just the fact that it functions as a bridge is impressive in 
itself!
 
 I personally think it's a great product.  It allows for management of 
huge numbers
of firewalls quite easily, including software upgrades, etc.  Upgrading 
the software on
6 remote firewalls took about 10 minutes total!  Try that with FW1 or 
Gauntlet!  The VPN
setup for client->lan is especially cool; It includes IKE Mode Config, 
and the client
software is painless to set up and get going.

The LSMS v4.1 (Lucent Security Management Server) interface is well 
done, and I've heard 
the new 5.0 release is even better.  Lucent's concept of 'Zones' takes 
some getting used
to for people used to other commercial firewall packages, but is really 
very efficient once 
you wrap your brain around it.  

 Take a look at this document, it shows some of the cool stuff you can 
do when your firewall
is a bridge :)
