solaris ipf
I need to enable firewall on Solaris. If I put only this in /etc/ipf/ipf.conf:
Code:
will it only block given subnet and nothing else? (is the default action allow?) thanks. |
solved, I've tried it on some less important server, and it works (doesn't block anything else).

Hadn't Solaris changed to PF instead of IPF? If PF is available for the version you have that might be preferable for several reasons including more people are familiar with it.
|
dunno, what firewall is used by Solaris 11.3 SPARC ?
/etc/firewall/pf.conf seems to be missing |
If I read correctly PF was introduced in 11.3, but it would be an older version of PF. Are there manual pages present for each of the device driver pf(4), the pf.conf(5) configuration, and the pfctl(8) utility?

Solaris 11.3 includes PF (pkg install firewall) and IPF
Solaris 11.4 includes PF |

pf was available when I used Solaris but it was not the standard yet. I've been using it on FreeBSD since 2005 and have posted my ruleset in that forum and the BSD forum next door. I love you all equally as much: Code:

Solaris IPF (Internet Protocol Filter) is a firewall technology used in the Solaris operating system. It provides network-level filtering and packet processing capabilities, allowing administrators to define rules and policies for network traffic control and security. With Solaris IPF, administrators can implement fine-grained control over incoming and outgoing network connections based on various criteria such as source/destination IP addresses, port numbers, protocols, and more. IPF offers flexibility and robustness in securing network communications and mitigating potential security risks. It is a powerful tool for managing network traffic and enforcing security measures on Solaris-based systems, helping to protect against unauthorized access and potential threats.
