NAME

       fwb_ipt - Policy compiler for Cisco PIX

SYNOPSIS

       fwb_pix -fdata_file.xml [-V] [-dwdir] [-i] [-v] [-xc] [-xt] object_name

DESCRIPTION

       fwb_pix	is  firewall  policy  compiler	component  of Firewall Builder (see fwbuilder(1)). Compiler reads objects definitions and firewall
       description from the data file specified with "-f" option and generates resultant Cisco PIX configuration file. The configuration is  writ-
       ten to the file with the name the same as the name of the firewall object, plus extension ".fw".

       The data file and the name of the firewall objects must be specified on the command line. Other command line parameters are optional.

OPTIONS

       -f FILE
	      Specify the name of the data file to be processed.

       -d wdir
	      Specify  working	directory. Compiler creates file with PIX configuration in this directory.  If this parameter is missing, then PIX
	      configuration will be placed in the current working directory.

       -v     Be verbose: compiler prints diagnostic messages when it works.

       -V     Print version number and quit.

       -i     When this option is present, the last argument on the command line is supposed to be firewall object ID rather than its name

       -xc    When output file name is determined automatically (i.e. flags -o or -O are not present), the file name is composed  of  the  cluster
	      name  and  member firewall name rather than just member firewall name. This is used mostly for testing when the same member firewall
	      object can be a part of different clusters with different configurations.

       -xt    This flag makes compiler treat all fatal errors as warnings and continue	processing  rules.  Generated  configuration  script  most
	      likely will be incorrect but will include error message as a comment; this flag is used for testing and debugging.
