(ASCEND) Pipeline 130 firewall question

["Allen Belletti" <abelletti@dmotorworks.com>]

Hello all,

I inherited a network environment which uses a Pipeline 130 to provide
Internet connectivity via a full T1.  Until recently, the Pipeline was
acting as both router and firewall, managed with Ascend SecureConnect
Manager.  Due to severe performance problems with the Ascend firewall (which
I'm told was not capable of supporting our level of traffic), I have moved
the routing and firewall functions to a dedicated Unix box.  This resulted
in a major decrease in ping times for all.

My question is, how can I most completely disable processing within the
Pipeline 130.  Currently, I have a "trusted" entry in the firewall for all
possible connections, and every other firewall feature disabled.  Is this
the best thing to do, or can I disable firewalling all together?

Basically, I want the P130 to do nothing other than move packets from the T1
to Ethernet and vice-versa.

Thanks for your help,
