RE: [FW1] external.if



Scott,

I experienced a similar issue.  What I needed to do was to delete two files
in the database directory of the fw. The path being: $FWDIR/database, do a
full listing of the files.

They are: fwd.h and fwd.hosts

After that stop and start firewall.

Hope that helps.

Subject: [FW1] external.if



Hi,

I'm in the process of loading CP 4.1.  During the installation, CP complains

that it does not recognize the elxl interface, and asks that I put it in 
manually.  I did that, and in a test environment, everything seems to work.

After putting the firewall in place, although it works fine, I get messages 
saying that we have more hosts behind the firewall than we are licensed for.

  We have a 100 user license, and we are not close to that many machines 
behind the firewall.  When I look to see what the IP's it is talking about, 
it turns out that they are outside IP's that are coming in from the 
internet, thus it is counting any incoming IP's against our license.  I 
checked the external.if file, and it shows the correct interface (elxl0).  
Can anyone tell me what I can do to make the machine know not to count 
external hosts as protected hosts ?  The cards we are using are common 3com 
cards.  We are running Solaris 7, on a Dell X86 machine.

Thanks....
