Description:
Check Point Firewall-1 has been the market-leading firewall system since its introduction in 1994. The main advantage of Firewall-1 is its comprehensive and easy to understand GUI, which has made it a firewall system of choice for many corporate IT managers. This is the second in a series of three articles that will examine Check Point Firewall-1 for Linux. The first article consisted of a brief introductory overview of Firewall-1, and a discussion of installation, post-installation tasks, as well as single and multi-system installations. This installment will cover Firewall-1 concepts such as network objects, firewall rules, address translation rules, and NAT, as well as features and limitations of Firewall-1. The final article will then discuss aspects of Firewall-1 such as file and directory layout, rulesets, migrating existing Firewall-1 installation to Linux, and back-up and standby configurations.
