Release Notes for BayRS Version 13.10
New Features in BayRS Version 13.10
BayRS Version 13.10 provides the following new features.
BaySecure FireWall-1
BayRS 13.10 provides support for ISDN interfaces, as well as support for backup
management stations.
Backup management stations provide the redundancy required to use BaySecure
FireWall-1 in large enterprise networks. Using Site Manager, you can configure
up to two backup management stations. Then if your router loses communication
with its firewall management station, a backup firewall management station
automatically establishes communication with the router so that the firewall
security remains intact and the logging of firewall statistics continues.
BaySecure FireWall-1 does not require that a backup management station remain
dormant until called into service when a another firewall management station
fails. A backup management station can simultaneously be a working firewall
management station for another firewall.
Backup Management Station Selection
A router connects to a backup firewall management station upon termination of
the TCP connection (with TCP_ABORT) between the current firewall
management station and the router.
Note: When an event, like the failure of a LAN, prevents communication
between the router and the firewall management station, the firewall
management station closes the TCP connection from its end when data does
not flow from the idle TCP connection. However, the router does not close the
TCP connection from its end for a period of time determined by the TCP
keepalive timer. The TCP keepalive timer in the firewall application on the
router periodically checks the TCP connection before the router aborts the idle
TCP connection.
