A simple, secure, and comprehensive way to manage through the firewall.

Management through the firewall has always been problematic...until now. Critical e-commerce resources such as web servers, mail servers, traffic shapers, and routers require constant monitoring to ensure the availability and security of the vital services they support. As a result, network administrators and managers face the challenge of monitoring IP resources on both sides of the firewall.

Risky Business

Management through the firewall has been, at worst, nearly impossible, and at best, difficult and risky. When possible, discovery and management through the firewall has required opening additional firewall conduits, placing discovery engines on the outside of the firewall, and/or adding complex configurations to the firewall. These solutions are troublesome, difficult to support and present high security risks.

New, risk-free solution

There is a better and safer solution. Netvion's Galileo for Cisco Secure PIX Firewalls (Galileo) enables HP OpenView Network Node Manager (NNM) to freely discover and manage IP networks through the firewall-without compromising security.

Galileo is an HP OpenView Certified Application that allows NNM to automatically ascertain the full capabilities of PIX firewalls. Without Galileo, NNM perceives the firewall as a generic computer rather than a routing device, and therefore does not discover beyond the firewall.

Galileo enables NNM to discover and manage critical IP resources through the firewall in a seamless and secure way.

Benefits
  • Discover and fully manage all IP networks via NNM through the firewall, giving you management control over all critical aspects of the environment.
  • Identify Cisco PIX Firewall units on NNM maps, giving you a more accurate view of the managed environment.
  • Interpret SNMP traps sent by PIX Firewall units and display their severity in the OpenView event browser for faster response and recovery.
  • Securely view critical elements via Secure Shell (SSH) and disable SNMP to the PIX, eliminating vulnerabilities.
