RE: [FW1] external.if



Where you were in a test environment it might still be picking up ip's from
that environment.  Go into the $FWDIR/database directory and remove the
fwd.h and the fwd.hosts file.  After you've done this fwstop/fwstart the
firewall to reset the host count.  Depending on what version of the firewall
you are using you might have to apply a hotfix to remedy this.

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....
