Hi:
Has anyone got SQLnet under 8.1.6 working with NAT?
We are currently running FW-1 4.0 and have Oracle 8.0.4 working
successfully with NAT and the sqlnet2 inspect script.
However it appears that the sqlnet2 inspect does not match the new
data packets under 8.1.6. I have run a sniffer against the two data streams
and have confirmed that the data packet containing the internal address and
port number has changed between the two versions. below is an example of
the two data packets as seen on the outside of the firewall. Note the
'HOST' on the 8.0.4 version is the translated address as defined and
replaced by the firewall, whereas in the 8.1.6 version it is the internal
address, unchanged: In both cases there is 16 bytes of non-ASCII data at
the beginning which I have not shown here, the remaining is ASCII data.
8.0.4 - (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(DEV=1240)(HOST=198.165.X.Y)(PORT=3299))
8.1.6 - (ADDRES=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=192.168.A.B)(PORT=3899))
Note the missing "(DEV=1024)" in the second packet.
Thanks in advance for any assistance
