Routing setup - AIX

strunz · #1 (**permalink**) 11-04-2008

Hi All,

I know there is a way to do this in routers. The question is whether it is posisble to do this in AIX.

For our Web Focus ODBC connection to the Disaster Recovery servers, we want to restrict the access to the ODBC ports so that only the IP address of the Web Focus server can get to the data in the DR database. In the router, it is as simple as setting up an IP to IP ACL.

Is it possible to do something like this within Unix ? The reason I ask is that our network guys would prefer not to implement this in the routers because it adds complexity and support effort.

If it is possible to do this in Unix, is there a way to log invalid connection attempts ? That is, to capture and report on connection attempts that originate from IP addresses other than the intended Web Focus address ?

Maybe ipfilters is what you are looking for: IBM Systems Information Center
