[FW1] Re: WARNING: cannot get address of host





Thanks to all that responded, I eventually figured out what the problem
was.     If you have
a client/server config (EMC + fw modules), ensure that if you have specific
policies
for specific fw modules, that your rulebase specifies the fw module in the
"install on" field
and not "Gateways". (all targets)

In my case, I was trying to push a firewall policy to a remote module  -
whilst my rulebase had the
firewall object in the "Install On" field,  the NAT rulebase specified
"Gateways".

Greetings

I am seeing this error today all out of nowhere when I try to push
the policy from my EMC onto one of my fw modules:

"/usr/lpp/FireWall-1/conf/myfirewall.pf", line 2437, WARNING: cannot
get address of host <fw module>
2437: WARNING: will not create a value table for <target_list75>
Compiled OK.

This doesn't happen when I load another policy and push onto another
fw module.

Any ideas?    I looked into the myfirewall.pf file on line 2437 and
noticed that the line "target_list" had 5 of my remote
fw module names in it, although I was only pushing the policy onto
one of these firewalls.   I deleted the *.pf file,
recreated a new one with "fw gen" - no luck.   In frustration, I
deleted the *.pf file and rulebases.fws, and did a
"fwm -g".    Everything got recreated, but when I pushed the policy,
I got the same error message.

Why is trying to get the address of a host for which I am not even
installing the rulebase on?   Why does the target_list line have *all* my
firewalls
in it?  Shouldn't it just contain the target of the fw module the policy
will be
pushed on?

Environment:
CP 4.0/SP 8
EMC/FW module environment

Any assistance would be appreciated.    Thanks.

Rgds
