Brick is the firewall and VPN management system distributed by Lucent. It is a hardware/firmware solution. It has been reported that Brick systems forward ARP traffic across interfaces, regardless of any defined firewall rulesets. This could allow a system local to the Brick to send ARP traffic across interfaces, and potentially deny service to other hosts local to the Brick system. Lucent has reported that this behavior will not occur if the interfaces of the Brick device are bound to different IP subnets.
