Re: Control firewall ports
Since the Cisco PIX is a Unix based IOS I would use a shell script in PERL from the application performing the port opening. You could also program the PIX to open a port dynamicaly from the IP address requesting these special ports. If you using an inactive mode, then all outgoing communications will succede as long as the are internally initialized. This means only internal hosts can request remote computers and once the link is established from the inside out, then once that link is broken, the port is closed.
