Hi,
Whilst I an employee of Nokia Internet Communications, the division which
delivers security solutions, I wanted to answer this query, without stepping
over the line and doing a sales job : )
RealSecure for Nokia is now available on all appliances shipped from Nokia,
as is all software available on the appliances. To activate RealSecure for
Nokia, all you have to do is go into the web mgt system and turn it on. You
then, of course, need a license key as well for the console.
If you have an older box not shipped with in built-in, you can download the
software from the Nokia channel site, assuming you are a channel.
Certification on RealSecure for Nokia is also needed to ensure the best
possible customer and channel experience.
At this time, the present version of RealSecure for Nokia does NOT run on
the same box as the firewall, or any other software apart from SystemWatch.
The sensor will also only monitor one interface, but since we do not force
the selection of interfaces, as to which one is external and which ones are
not, you can configure the box as you would a NT or Sun sensor as regards
interfaces. Basically, you can run it with one interface for both monitoring
and mgt or run the box in 'Stealth mode' and use 2 interfaces. No
performance difference to us. We recommend Stealth mode as default.
The performance of the appliances is such that all appliances are more than
suitable for 10M Ethernet, and an IP440 and an IP650 can also cope in good
order with a 100M Ethernet with extremely high accuracy, and operate equally
as other RealSecure platforms do.
I hope this helps.
Bestest,
Nick Ellenden
Business Development Manager

Your CAT 2924 XL should span the firewall ports, mine do. Most Network
Support
folks don't know how to do it from the Cisco command line. Fire up the
2924 XL
Web manager product and have them do it from there.
RealSecure on the Nokia Platform
It does exist Check http://www.nokia.com/securitysolutions/network/iss.html
It
is sadly ignored on the ISS site.
You will hear many tales concerning whether it will run with Firewall-1 on
the
same box. I "believe" it will, but it will only see one interface last time
I
checked. I also believe it is only the external (Internet) interface that
it
can see. I would not want to use less than an IP650 with lots of memory if
I
"tried" to do this.
Call Nokia and ask them to tell you what they actually support. Ask for the
answer in writing. That will force the issue high enough inside Nokia to
get
the right answer.

Cisco's CAT 2924XL switches, using Nokia IP650 firewalls...
Ken, would you expand on the option of running RealSecure on one
interface of the Nokia, as I didn't know anything about that...?
Thanks..

I agree with George with the following exception:
It depends on the manufacturer of the switch. Some switches are a
little
brighter than others.
This type of question needs to include the make and model of the switch
and the
firewall hardware to get a better answer.
There are some other option that are dependant on the hardware
platform. Like:
If the firewall is on a Nokia platform you get the option of running
RealSecure
on one interface of the Nokia.
