NAME¶
fwb_ipt - Policy compiler for Cisco PIX
SYNOPSIS¶
fwb_pix -f
data_file.xml [-V] [-d
wdir] [-i] [-v] [-xc] [-xt]
object_name
DESCRIPTION¶
fwb_pix is firewall policy compiler component of Firewall Builder (see
fwbuilder(1)). Compiler reads objects definitions and firewall description
from the data file specified with "-f" option and generates
resultant Cisco PIX configuration file. The configuration is written to the
file with the name the same as the name of the firewall object, plus extension
".fw".
The data file and the name of the firewall objects must be specified on the
command line. Other command line parameters are optional.
OPTIONS¶
- -f FILE
- Specify the name of the data file to be processed.
- -d wdir
- Specify working directory. Compiler creates file with PIX
configuration in this directory. If this parameter is missing, then PIX
configuration will be placed in the current working directory.
- -v
- Be verbose: compiler prints diagnostic messages when it
works.
- -V
- Print version number and quit.
- -i
- When this option is present, the last argument on the
command line is supposed to be firewall object ID rather than its name
- -xc
- When output file name is determined automatically (i.e.
flags -o or -O are not present), the file name is composed of the cluster
name and member firewall name rather than just member firewall name. This
is used mostly for testing when the same member firewall object can be a
part of different clusters with different configurations.
- -xt
- This flag makes compiler treat all fatal errors as warnings
and continue processing rules. Generated configuration script most likely
will be incorrect but will include error message as a comment; this flag
is used for testing and debugging.
