Hi All,
I've upgraded two GB2000x firewalls to 5.0 - both went smoothly. I
was looking forward to the Intrusion Protection stuff and it was
pretty easy to turn on, however, it was a little confusing at first.
To me - subscription and default rules looked and acted alike out of
the box (probably because the firewalls were currently under
maintenance). Turning on and off IPS stuff is a little tedious to
get everything running well with our policies, but not nearly as bad
as configuring and reconfiguring a Cisco PIX.
I'm a little concerned that the memory use is pretty high (around 90
- 95% at times) with the IPS features turned on, and I still can't
figure out how to filter the IPS rules properly to find things that
I'm looking to turn off. But it's interesting to see some of the
things that I missed before.
I'm seeing a lot of these messages:
PS: (http_inspect) IIS UNICODE CODEPOINT ENCODING" generator=119-7
Is there an easy way to look for something like this in the IPS to
disable/not log it?
Regards,
Lou

Hi Danny/all/David,
Just my two pence worth. I tried to upgrade to v5 last week after the
release was publicised. Although the upgrade was seamless (apart from
having to go from 4.0.2 to 4.0.4 before 5), it wouldn't route all
incoming
tunnels. I spent as long as I could examining it, but didn't have
enough
time to try and resolve it and (thankfully) was able to reboot back to
4.0.4. I still have the v5 slice available but won't be booting it any
time soon.

RE: [gb-users] GTA Releases GB-OS 5.0 Firewall UTM Software
David,
The last "next evolution" you released was a fiasco, in my opinion. I
have several questions.
How is it that you abandoned Version 4.X after only one year; while
Versions 2 and 3 were your main workhorses (and very reliable) for
many
years?
How is this version different than 4.X in reliability (or lack of)?
What precautions have you take to insure that the types of issues
created by migrating to 4.X do to also migrate to this version?
I look forward to your response.
Thanks,
Danny

Hello Everyone,
GTA has released GB-OS 5.0, the next evolution of GTA firewall system
software. The enhanced GB-OS 5.0 focuses on advancements to perimeter
security by offering unified threat management (UTM) features for GTA
firewall systems. GTA has incorporated a robust Intrusion Prevention
System into GTA's core GB-OS system software. When used in conjunction
with Mail Sentinel Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam and Surf Sentinel content
filtering, GTA firewall UTM systems offer a comprehensive perimeter
security solution. In addition to the unified threat management
features, GB-OS 5.0 includes VPN enhancements, an improved graphical
interface for configuration verification and import/export of
configurations in XML format.
GB-OS 5.0 is available for download via the GTA Online Support
Center to
existing GTA customers with a GTA support contract or annual
maintenance
agreement, or for those who purchased a GTA firewall on or after April
2, 2007. GTA began shipping GB-OS 5.0 pre-installed on new units on
June
14, 2007. Other users should contact their local GTA channel
partner or
email sales_at_gta_dot_com for information and pricing of GB-OS 5.0 upgrade
options.
Release notes for version 5.0.0 can be found at

David
