Recommendations on modeler/change manger for PIX & FWSM

["Cary, Kim" <Kim.Cary () pepperdine edu>]

Been watching the list with interest for about 6 months! Thanks for the good
discussion.

We have several PIX & FWSM (PIX Blades) our team is managing. We've been
using PDM (Cisco's Java tool for managing PIX) for distributed
administration, but we've been getting tired of its shortcomings in
documenting our rules. Also, we'd like to find something that handles change
management (reporting, maybe rollback or state snapshots) and modeling (if
traffic from 'here' starts to go 'there' what does the firewall do).

There may not be such a beast (all-in-one) or it may be too expensive, but I
thought folks on this list would have experience with such products. Your
comments on workarounds, home grown solutions also are of interest. If you'd
like to email me directly, I'll summarize for the list. If not, I'll read
the comments here.

Thanks!
