Security Basics: Re: Border router security configuration

["aruna" <arunah () slt lk>]

Hello Group,

We are in the process of implementing an ISS real secure scanner and a
workgroups server
for monitoring intrusions. Is there any method to direct the FW ( checkpoint
on  Nortel Appliance )
to drop the packets if suspicious activity is detected ?

Thanks to all

aruna
