  • Nokia Network Voyager
    Nokia Firewall VPN and IPSO Configuration Guide, 2009
    Co-Authors: Andrew Hay, Peter Giannoulis, Keli Hay, Warren Verbanec
    Abstract:

    This chapter highlights the use of Nokia Network Voyager. Nokia Network Voyager is a role-based application provided in a Web-based interface. One can use Nokia Network Voyager to manage the IPSO operating system on the Nokia appliance. The IPSO operating system software is included and is accessible using a Web browser from a client. All information appears in a navigation tree view, similar to Windows Explorer and is split across four frames. If one does not have access to a system item, then the item does not appear in the navigation tree. Read-only access gives access to the page, but with the buttons disabled. It is important to remember to not use the Back and Forward buttons of the Web browser while in Nokia Network Voyager because the browser caches the HTML page information and the latest page information might be lost when moving from page to page. Using Nokia Network Voyager, one can install, upgrade, and remove IPSO packages. One can also use Nokia Network Voyager to enable, disable, and delete packages and to delete files that no longer need to be maintained on the local system.

  • Security and Access Configuration
    Nokia Firewall VPN and IPSO Configuration Guide, 2009
    Co-Authors: Andrew Hay, Peter Giannoulis, Keli Hay, Warren Verbanec
    Abstract:

    When users log in to Nokia Network Voyager, the features available in the navigation tree depend on the role or roles assigned to their user account. If the roles do not provide access to a feature, the user will not see a link to the feature in the tree. If the user has read-only access to a feature, he or she will see a link and be able to access the page, but the controls will be disabled. An important aspect when securing the Nokia Network security platform is establishing user passwords and creating an effective password policy. Having users create strong and unique passwords using a variety of character types and creating a password policy requiring users to change their passwords often are key factors to the overall Network security. To create an effective security policy, one must make sure users create strong and unique passwords. One can configure a policy that requires passwords to be a certain length, use more than one character type, and not be palindromes. For group access, one can define and configure groups with IPSO similarly to UNIX-based systems. This capability is retained under IPSO for advanced applications and for retaining compatibility with UNIX. When a new user is added to Nokia Network Voyager, the user is given read-only privileges to the Nokia Network Voyager home page or execute commands from the CLI prompt. The user, however, cannot access other Nokia Network Voyager pages or execute commands from the command-line interface (CLI) prompt. For the user to gain more access, one must assign roles.

    Co-Authors: Andrew Hay, Peter Giannoulis, Keli Hay, Warren Verbanec
    Abstract:

    The IPSO operating system, a fork of the FreeBSD operating system, is the core of the Nokia Internet Protocol (IP) security platform. It was designed to be a secure and lean operating system so it could operate efficiently on smaller hardware. IPSO contains two powerful command-line editing utilities that can be used to configure all settings for the IPSO-based security platform called ipsctl and CLISH. The Nokia Network Voyager Web-based interface lets configure the Nokia IP security platform using the Web browser. Voyager, as it is commonly referred to, can be used to configure the Nokia IP security platform from the installation and throughout the life of the deployment. Depending on the size of the Network, a Nokia IP security appliance helps protect the Network. The IP40, IP45, and IP60 platforms are suited for ROBO deployments. The IP130, IP260, IP265, IP290, and IP390 platforms are suited for growing companies and satellite offices that want high performance IP routing combined with the Check Point VPN-1/FireWall-1 enterprise security suite. The IP560, IP690, IP1220, IP1260, IP2255, and IP2450 platforms are suited for medium enterprise to large heavily trafficked Network nodes, such as core data center connection points.

  • Chapter 9 – System Monitoring
    Nokia Firewall VPN and IPSO Configuration Guide, 2009
    Co-Authors: Andrew Hay, Peter Giannoulis, Keli Hay
    Abstract:

    Publisher Summary Using Nokia Network Voyager, one can monitor several aspects of the IP security platform to better maintain performance and security. For example, one can monitor state information for each interface, view the contents of IP routing tables, and generate reports on events such as throughput, bandwidth utilization, and link states over specific periods of time. One can use the system utilization statistics to monitor and tune the allocation of the system resources. For example, if the file system capacity percentage increases, one should take action, such as deleting old IPSO images and packages or moving the log files to a remote system. To view statistical information on system utilization, click CPU-Memory Live Utilization, Disk and Swap Space Utilization, or Process Utilization under System Utilization of the Monitor folder in the tree view. By clicking the link for the appropriate report under Monitor Reports in the tree view, one can generate reports of data collection events. The administrator can configure how often the data is collected, whether each data collection event is enabled or disabled, and how many hours worth of collected data are stored on the system.

  • Nokia Firewall, VPN, and IPSO Configuration Guide
    2008
    Co-Authors: Andrew Hay, Keli Hay, Peter Giannoulis
    Abstract:

    "While Nokia is perhaps most recognized for its leadership in the mobile phone market, they have successfully demonstrated their knowledge of the Internet security appliance market and its customers requirements." --Chris Christiansen, Vice President, Internet Infrastructure and Security Software, IDC. Syngress has a long history of publishing market-leading books for system administrators and security professionals on commercial security products, particularly Firewall and Virtual Private Network (VPN) appliances from Cisco, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall, and Nokia (see related titles for sales histories). The Nokia Firewall, VPN, and IPSO Configuration Guide will be the only book on the market covering the all-new Nokia Firewall/VPN Appliance suite. Nokia Firewall/VPN appliances are designed to protect and extend the Network perimeter. According to IDC research, Nokia Firewall/VPN Appliances hold the #3 worldwide market-share position in this space behind Cisco and Juniper/NetScreen. IDC estimated the total Firewall/VPN market at $6 billion in 2007, and Nokia owns 6.6% of this market. Nokia's primary customers for security appliances are Mid-size to Large enterprises who need site-to-site connectivity and Mid-size to Large enterprises who need remote access connectivity through enterprise-deployed mobile devices. Nokia appliances for this market are priced form $1,000 for the simplest devices (Nokia IP60) up to $60,0000 for large enterprise- and service-provider class devices (like the Nokia IP2450 released in Q4 2007). While the feature set of such a broad product range obviously varies greatly, all of the appliances run on the same operating system: Nokia IPSO (IPSO refers to Ipsilon Networks, a company specializing in IP switching acquired by Nokia in 1997. The definition of the acronym has little to no meaning for customers.) As a result of this common operating system across the product line, The Nokia Firewall, VPN, and IPSO Configuration Guide will be an essential reference to users of any of these products. Users manage the Nokia IPSO (which is a Linux variant, specifically designed for these appliances) through a Web interface called Nokia Network Voyager or via a powerful Command Line Interface (CLI). Coverage within the book becomes increasingly complex relative to the product line. The Nokia Firewall, VPN, and IPSO Configuration Guide and companion Web site will provide seasoned Network administrators and security professionals with the in-depth coverage and step-by-step walkthroughs they require to properly secure their Network perimeters and ensure safe connectivity for remote users. The book contains special chapters devoted to mastering the complex Nokia IPSO command line, as well as tips and tricks for taking advantage of the new "ease of use" features in the Nokia Network Voyager Web interface. In addition, the companion Web site offers downloadable video walkthroughs on various installation and troubleshooting tips from the authors. * Only book on the market covering Nokia Firewall/VPN appliances, which hold 6.6% of a $6 billion market. * Companion Web site offers downloadable video walkthroughs on various installation and troubleshooting tips from the authors. * Special chapters detail mastering the complex Nokia IPSO command line, as well as tips and tricks for taking advantage of the new "ease of use" features in the Nokia Network Voyager Web interface.
