Hi Tanger
 
You're right
 
SGS 5400 software is based on the Symantec Enterprise Firewall, many other features of course but the core sytem is SEF.
 
Resuming
 
SGS 5400 is a proxy-based firewall
 
Regards

I'm not sure wether the SGS5x00's are based on the EnterpriseFirewall
(ex-Raptor) or not. If so, then be aware that the Raptor is a
proxy-based firewall, thus you will see many "open" ports when
running a scanner against it even if they are effectively blocked.

Good luck!

Volker
