Free firewall configuration search tool

SolarWinds released its new Firewall Browser free tool, which enables IT professionals to easily troubleshoot firewalls and manage change requests from the convenience of the desktop.

The tool simplifies the challenges inherent to ruleset searches based on address or service ranges — the way change requests are actually made.

SolarWinds Firewall Browser is the only free firewall configuration search tool that supports unlimited searches on mixed-vendor inventory from a single convenient interface.

Highlights:

• Import and search unlimited Cisco, Check Point and Netscreen configurations
• Search rules and objects based on IP address, name, service, or port
• Verify if a change request is already handled by the security rules
• Find the best rules and objects that can be reused for making a change
• Determine the impact of a change to an object group.
