Hello all, I've set up a few Red Hat routers in my day, but have always had to set them up in which one subnet was routing to another. I could never create a router in where the router was just acting like a physical switch, with the ability to filter out unwanted packets. Is this possible?
Here's the details: Right now the servers on the inside of a gateway (cisco) get a public IP address, and are able to "do their thing". However, none of these machines are protected with firewall software, and thus we have had many (and I mean _many_) crackers get in, and ruin these servers. I don't want to have to make all these servers have internal IP addresses, because doing that at this point would be a major overhaul. My boss and I are willing to do this, if we have to, but would rather the following scenario: We would like to add a Red Hat router/firewall physically inbetween the gateway and the servers, that would allow for these machines to retain their IP addresses, and allow us to block off all the ports except for the ones that the server's use to serve their information to the internet. Thank you very much, I have searched google/google groups, and have come up empty handed in both cases. All your help is truly appreciated. -Jon "GenKiller" Gaudette -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
