It generates configuration files for packet +filters controlling the borders of security domains. + +NetSPoC provides its own language for describing security policy and topology +of a network. The security policy is a set of rules that state which packets +are allowed to pass the network and which not. NetSPoC is topology aware: a +rule for traffic from A to B is automatically applied to all managed packet +filters on the path from A to B. + +Currently NetSPoC generates ACLs and static routing entries for Cisco routers +and PIX firewalls. Support for network address translation and IPSec has not +been implemented yet. + +WWW: http://netspoc.berlios.de/ |
