Troubleshooting HP-UX IPFilter

Troubleshooting HP-UX IPFilter
This section describes how to troubleshoot an HP-UX IPFilter
configuration. It provides information about possible problems that
might occur along with the steps needed to resolve them.
• HP-UX IPFilter is not filtering (it passes/allows all network
traffic).
Verify whether HP-UX IPFilter is running using ipf -V. The
running field should say yes. If it says no, then the HP-UX IPFilter
module has not been loaded. It might have been explicitly unloaded.
To load IPFilter again, use:
/sbin/init.d/ipfboot start
To determine if the HP-UX IPFilter DLKM modules are loaded,
execute the kcmodule (1M) command. See the respective manpages
for more information.
Load the rules and check again that IPFilter works. If it still does not
work, reboot the system and check /etc/rc.log and
/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log for errors.
• The host does not seem to be on the network and pings do not
go through.
Check the rules you have configured using ipfstat -io. This
command will show the in and the out rules.
