fwb_ipt - Policy compiler for Cisco PIX
fwb_pix -fdata_file.xml [-V] [-dwdir] [-i]
[-v] [-xc] [-xt] object_name
fwb_pix is firewall policy compiler component of Firewall
Builder (see fwbuilder(1)). Compiler reads objects definitions and firewall
description from the data file specified with "-f" option and
generates resultant Cisco PIX configuration file. The configuration is
written to the file with the name the same as the name of the firewall
object, plus extension ".fw".
The data file and the name of the firewall objects must be
specified on the command line. Other command line parameters are
optional.
- -f FILE
- Specify the name of the data file to be processed.
- -d wdir
- Specify working directory. Compiler creates file with PIX configuration in
this directory. If this parameter is missing, then PIX configuration will
be placed in the current working directory.
- -v
- Be verbose: compiler prints diagnostic messages when it works.
- -V
- Print version number and quit.
- -i
- When this option is present, the last argument on the command line is
supposed to be firewall object ID rather than its name
- -xc
- When output file name is determined automatically (i.e. flags -o or -O are
not present), the file name is composed of the cluster name and member
firewall name rather than just member firewall name. This is used mostly
for testing when the same member firewall object can be a part of
different clusters with different configurations.
- -xt
- This flag makes compiler treat all fatal errors as warnings and continue
processing rules. Generated configuration script most likely will be
incorrect but will include error message as a comment; this flag is used
for testing and debugging.
