 SQLNET through FW1
Hello all,
I am currently involved in migrating from Symantec firewalls to CP FW1 (on Nokia). We currently have several applications that utilize Symantec's sqlnet proxy service. As a matter of fact, up till now these firewalls have not been upgraded to version 8 because Symantec did away with the sqlnet service support in the newer version.
As I understand it, the sqlnet proxy service negotiates the communications between servers and is initiated on port tcp/1521 with high port negotiation following. The Symantec proxy service can support 30 concurrent connections.
An alternative to sqlnet proxy is ORACLE 8i Connection Manager which redirects sqlnet traffic to 1630/tcp.
Does FW1 support sqlnet and its negotiated random port usage or should I consider purchasing third party software such as ORACLE 8i Connection Manager to handle this type of traffic?
Thanks,
Ty |
