Disable FIREWALL in UNIX

Hi Gurus,

I am new to UNIX Admin and i am trying to do one software installation.

During installation process, i need to disable the existing firewall settings. I am not much aware about the UNIX Firewall settings.

Can any one help me to find out whether the firewall is ON or not. If it is ON then please help me to disable the firewall on AIX UNIX 5.3.

Thank you,
RaamC

AIX does not have a firewall unless that is something that has been created and installed custom in your environment.

EDIT: This should probably be in the AIX forums.
