Dear Firewall Experts, Is there a firewall policy configuration management tool/appliance that can incorporate multiple firewall vendor rules management under one roof? What I mean is, are there tools that have a generic syntax/language or GUI frontend that can represent for example cisco and juniper netscreen syntax/policy rule sets? Example Trivial Scenario: +++++++++++++++++++++++++ I have 2 firewalls back-to-back with a service running behind them both. Normally one would have to write a firewall rule for the cisco firewall using cisco syntax to permit that services port traffic and then write another equivalent rule on the juniper firewall. I would like to investigate the generic policy syntax/GUI tool set whereby one (business/firewall) generic rule can be written (permit access to service X) and it *magically* writes rules for multiple vendor firewalls installed on the network. Any pointers to existing technologies is greatly appreciated if any.
Closest thing I know of is this: http://www.fwbuilder.org/ Kurt _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () listserv icsalabs com https://listserv.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
