CONFIGURING FIREWALLS

10.1Firewalls

Configuring firewalls allows administrators to adapt network protection policies to meet ever-changing hacker and intruder threats. Just as virus protection software requires updates to protect against the latest intrusion attacks, firewalls must be updated. In this release of Black Box software, administrators are able to filter traffic on specific ports, protect against Denial of Services attacks, enable IP packet reassembly, and so forth.

There are three licenses that control access to the features:

„

„

„

Basic VPN Management (vpn_mgmt)—allows users to manage a remote Black Box router.

Firewall (firewall)—allows users to manage the firewall features. Also includes Basic VPN Management.

Advanced VPN and firewall (vpn_plus_firewall)—Allows users to manage remote LANs. Also includes Basic VPN and Firewall licenses.

To see the licenses available in this release, enter:
