I listed all of the known hosts in our Firewall-1 license with the command:
fw.exe tab -table host_table
This spits back IP addresses coded as an eight digit hex number. (Does anyone know how to force the output to appear as a normal decimal system IP?)
In translating these IPs, I was very disappointed to see that Firewall-1 is counting its own internal interfaces as separate IPs toward the license, in effect counting one host over and over and over. On a network with 10 subnets, you use up 10 host licenses just with an empty firewall and no hosts behind it. That doesn't seem like very fair licensing since the multiple interfaces on the firewall itself hardly constitute different hosts. Is there any way to change that licensing behavior?
