RE: [FW1] FW1 as a bridge



Title: RE: [FW1] FW1 as a bridge

FW1, unfortunately, does not work in bridge mode.  Some appliance-based firewalls support this functionality, but FW1 depends on an IP address being bound to each adapter used for traffic control.  This is more a limitation of the underlying operating system than a limitation of FW1.

Hi Javier,

I'm sure you'll want to give the machine an IP address, and more than
just one. FW1 is a firewall designed for filtering IP traffic.


Mit freundlichen Gruessen/Kind Regards,
