SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the critical need to verify that firewall policy changes and dataplane updates do not introduce regressions in traffic forwarding, security enforcement, or throughput performance.

Core Features & Use Cases

Policy Correctness: Validates directional traffic flow (allow/block) across trust, untrust, and DMZ zones to ensure security rules are strictly enforced.
Throughput Benchmarking: Measures line-rate performance in high-availability clusters to ensure no packet loss or retransmits occur under load.
Negative Control Testing: Confirms that security policies are active and functional by verifying that traffic is blocked immediately upon policy removal.

Quick Start

Execute the security-matrix skill to run the full suite of directional policy tests and throughput benchmarks against the current environment.

FAQPage Schema

How do I validate firewall policy enforcement across trust, untrust, and DMZ zones?▼

Validate firewall policy enforcement by testing directional traffic flow across trust, untrust, and DMZ zones to ensure security rules are strictly enforced. This confirms that allow and block behaviors match the intended policy configuration.

What is the best way to benchmark dataplane throughput in high-availability firewall clusters?▼

Benchmark dataplane throughput by measuring line-rate performance in high-availability clusters to ensure no packet loss or retransmits occur under load. This verifies the high-performance dataplane can handle expected traffic volume.

How does negative control testing confirm security policies are active?▼

Negative control testing confirms security policies are active by verifying that traffic is blocked immediately upon policy removal. This proves the firewall is actively enforcing rules rather than allowing traffic by default.

Can I use this to verify Junos-style stateful firewall configurations and AF_XDP dataplanes?▼

Yes, this supports network engineering workflows involving Junos-style stateful firewall configuration, policy compiler updates, and high-performance AF_XDP dataplane verification. It requires precise environment isolation and real traffic capture.

Why does firewall policy verification require precise environment isolation and traffic analysis?▼

Firewall policy verification requires environment isolation and traffic analysis to accurately confirm policy-driven forwarding and blocking behaviors. Without isolation, external traffic or noise could mask regressions in security enforcement or throughput.
