Re: [FW-1] Firewall syslog entries



It is a normal behavior, you just have extra debuuging on. The firewall
controles against it's database if  this ip addy has ever traversed yout
firewall AFAIK. Maybe someone else has other ideas about it.

Gang,



I was looking at my firewall module syslog file, and came across the
following entries (sanitized for your protection):



Jul 31 13:38:47 firewall-hostname unix: FW-1: Warning: modify for a
new entry:

Jul 31 13:38:47 firewall-hostname

Jul 31 13:38:47 firewall-hostname unix: <(hexadecimal IP address)

Jul 31 13:38:47 firewall-hostname unix: ,4ac

Jul 31 13:38:47 firewall-hostname unix: ,(another hexadecimal IP address)

Jul 31 13:38:47 firewall-hostname unix: ,0

Jul 31 13:38:47 firewall-hostname unix: ,11

Jul 31 13:38:47 firewall-hostname unix: ;0

Jul 31 13:38:47 firewall-hostname unix: ,4000

Jul 31 13:38:47 firewall-hostname unix: ,0

Jul 31 13:38:47 firewall-hostname unix: > <0 : =0 22>



There are numerous instances of this, with different hex IP addresses
and what appear to be hex port numbers (the two- and three-digit
entries).  Has anyone else seen this, and what does it mean?  I'm
running CP 2000 on Solaris 7.



Thanks,



Dan
