Abstract

In this redbook we describe the implementation of the IBM SecureWay Firewall V4.1 for AIX for enforcing security at the boundaries of TCP/IP networks. It contains details as well as basic and advanced configuration techniques. It also gives several helpful tips on AIX security and general Internet security.
The chief feature of this redbook is its numerous examples. These examples cover all the major capabilities of the IBM firewall: IP filters; proxy and SOCKS services; logging, monitoring, and alerts; DNS; mail; and remote configuration. It goes a step further by covering configuration examples of the systems around the firewall.
This redbook will help you to plan, install, implement, and manage the IBM SecureWay Firewall V4.1 for AIX . This redbook is aimed at users who have some experience with firewalls. If you are not one of those, we suggest that you read the introductory chapters of Guarding the Gates Using the IBM eNetwork Firewall V3.3 for Windows NT, SG24-5209.
