Announcement
HP-UX IPFilter, product number B9901AA version A.03.05.13 is a TCP/IP packet filter
suitable for use as a system firewall to protect application servers. The firewall functions as a
security defense by cutting down the number of exposure points on a machine. Although
HP-UX IPFilter is a superset of the functionality in the IPFilter 3.5 Alpha 5 open source
version of the product (developed by Darren Reed), HP does not support some of the perimeter
firewall features in that release.
For a complete list of commands and utilities that are not supported by HP, see “Unsupported
Features” on page 7.
The HP-UX IPFilter version A.03.05.13 product is supported only on HP-UX 11i v3 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 HP, you can request support from the open source IPFilter
website. The URL for this site is http://caligula.anu.edu.au/~avalon.
HP-UX IPFilter A.03.05.13 can be obtained from the HP Software Depot at
http://www.software.hp.com. In addition, HP-UX IPFilter A.03.05.13 will be available on
AR/OE media in 2007.
NOTE HP-UX IPFilter A.03.05.13 is only supported on HP-UX 11i v3. For HP-UX
11i v1 and HP-UX 11i v2, HP-UX IPFilter A.03.05.14 is the latest release.
