Redbook Abstract
All You Need to Know When Migrating from IBM Firewall for AS/400, SG24-6152-00
  Abstract
This IBM Redbook helps you to plan and perform migration from the withdrawn IBM Firewall for AS/400 product to a successor product. The intended audience includes network security administrators or consultants who are in charge of migrating the AS/400 firewall to a successor product.

You are guided through the considerations to be taken into account when planning the migration and selecting a successor product. You see how and what information needs to be collected to successfully apply the current firewall security rules to a new product or environment. In some cases, the replacement firewall products do not have the same set of functions that were available on IBM Firewall for AS/400. In such cases, the new solution combines a firewall product and native OS/400 functions.

Three possible migration paths are shown to the following firewall products:

- AXENT Raptor firewall - Check Point FireWall-1 - Cisco PIX firewall

Advanced firewall, Internet, and TCP/IP skills are recommended to perform the migration as described in this book.
