removing old addresses from the database

[oedipian]

Hi all,

Since we have installed CP FW1, we have changed the addressing plan of our LAN. However, the old addresses are still held in the database, which doubles the number of users on a license point of view.

Is there a way to remove the old addresses or to renew the address list in order to clean the database, as with the current list of users, we are overpassing our license agreement max users.

Many thanks

Vincent

To get a count type

fw tab -t host_table -s

The entry under # vals corresponds to the number of hosts it has counted.
You can see what IP's are currently being counted against your license by
issuing the following command:

fw lichosts

Rather than reboot the box, you may want to reset FireWall-1 count of IPs.
cpstop, remove the $FWDIR/database/fwd.h and $FWDIR/database/fwd.hosts files
and cpstart FireWall-1.

You can reset the table with

fw tab -t host_table -x.
