NAME

Farly - Firewall Analysis and Rewrite Library

DESCRIPTION

Farly translates a vendor specific firewall configuration into an easily searchable vendor independent firewall model.

Using the Farly firewall model, Perl scripts can be written to perform tasks such as firewall security audits, group or rule optimizations or large scale firewall configuration changes.

This module is a factory class which abstracts the construction of an Object::KVC::List<Object::KVC::Hash> based firewall device model.

Farly dies on error.

SYNOPSIS

use Farly;

my $importer = Farly->new();

my $container = $importer->process("ASA", "firewall-config.txt");

foreach my $ce ( $container->iter() ) {
	print $ce->dump();
	print "\n"
}

METHODS

process( <firewall type>, <configuration file>)

my $container = $importer->process("ASA", "firewall-config.txt");
