Hi All, I've upgraded two GB2000x firewalls to 5.0 - both went smoothly. I was looking forward to the Intrusion Protection stuff and it was pretty easy to turn on, however, it was a little confusing at first. To me - subscription and default rules looked and acted alike out of the box (probably because the firewalls were currently under maintenance). Turning on and off IPS stuff is a little tedious to get everything running well with our policies, but not nearly as bad as configuring and reconfiguring a Cisco PIX.
I'm a little concerned that the memory use is pretty high (around 90 - 95% at times) with the IPS features turned on, and I still can't figure out how to filter the IPS rules properly to find things that I'm looking to turn off. But it's interesting to see some of the things that I missed before. I'm seeing a lot of these messages: PS: (http_inspect) IIS UNICODE CODEPOINT ENCODING" generator=119-7 Is there an easy way to look for something like this in the IPS to disable/not log it?

Although the upgrade was seamless (apart from having to go from 4.0.2 to 4.0.4 before 5), it wouldn't route all incoming tunnels. I spent as long as I could examining it, but didn't have enough time to try and resolve it and (thankfully) was able to reboot back to 4.0.4. I still have the v5 slice available but won't be booting it any time soon. regards Simon Delicata "Cox, Danny H." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 21/06/2007 18:11 To "David Brooks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[email protected]> cc Subject RE: [gb-users] GTA Releases GB-OS 5.0 Firewall UTM Software David, The last "next evolution" you released was a fiasco, in my opinion. I have several questions. How is it that you abandoned Version 4.X after only one year; while Versions 2 and 3 were your main workhorses (and very reliable) for many years? How is this version different than 4.X in reliability (or lack of)? What precautions have you take to insure that the types of issues created by migrating to 4.X do to also migrate to this version? I look forward to your response.
