Hardware Configuration

This section discusses how to configure network hardware to serve as the hardware portion of a firewall solution. (For information on how to configure Silicon Graphics software in a firewall solution, refer to "IRIX Configuration".) Only setups that include an IRIX host as part of the solution are discussed, as router-only solutions tend to be too limited. A firewall host has the advantages of permitting and restricting specific applications, maintaining log files, and adding authentication to network access.
