fwb_pix(1)                     Firewall Builder                     fwb_pix(1)



NAME
       fwb_ipt - Policy compiler for Cisco PIX

SYNOPSIS
       fwb_pix -fdata_file.xml [-V] [-dwdir] [-i] [-v] [-xc] [-xt] object_name


DESCRIPTION
       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.


OPTIONS
       -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.
