Email notification from 501 PIX

[woods8]

Hi,

I'm new to the realm of firewalls but I am wandering if the Cisco PIX 501 has any capability to send out monthly emails showing bandwidth usage?

Thanx in advance.

Sorry - this feature is not available on the PIX models!

It uses basicly PERL scripts and supports a wide range of Firewalls. You just need to install Perl in your Windows environment.

Commercial Windows version could be:
