The Cisco PIX firewall has several commands in its arsenal to control traffic flow: conduit commands to control traffic from lower security level interfaces to higher security level interfaces; outbound filter commands to control traffic from higher security level interfaces to lower level interfaces; and Cisco Access Control List (ACL) commands. The ACL commands can do everything conduit and outbound filter commands do, but they do them better and even come with powerful features such as turbo ACLs and object grouping. This chapter talks about the uses of conduits, outbound filters, ACLs, turbo ACLs, and object grouping. |
