RE: [nv-l] Cisco PIX / Firewall switch module in Netview

[James Shanks <jshanks@us.ibm.com>]

I've just received permission to announce
here that beginning with NetView 7.1.4 FixPack2, which will be shipping
in two weeks, we intend to include native NetView support for monitoring
Cisco PIX Firewall failover.  This code is currently in Verification
here and at a beta customer site, so there is no reason at this time to
think that it will not ship on time as planned.  While I cannot provide
much detail at this time, basically you will be adding new entries for
the failover interfaces to monitor to the netmon seed file, and netmon
will take care of the details.   That's all I can say at this time
due to IBM Confidentiality restrictions.
