Benefits and Features
HP-UX IPFilter is a system firewall that filters the IP level packets that travel in or out of a
system. The firewall functions as a security defense by cutting down the number of exposure
points on a machine.
HP-UX IPFilter is based on IP Filter Version 3.5 Alpha 5 from the open source community
(developed by Darren Reed). The HP-UX IPFilter Version A.03.05.12 product is supported on
HP-UX 11.0, HP-UX 11i version 1, and HP-UX 11i version 2 systems.
The software includes all the functionality found in the open source code including the
unsupported perimeter firewall features, such as firewall stealth (fastroute). If you are using
features that are not supported by Hewlett-Packard, you can request support from the open
source IPFilter website. The URL for this site is http://caligula.anu.edu.au/~avalon.
