Abstract
A computer-implemented method of generating in a display a dynamic accessibility diagram representing a firewall configuration of a firewall in a computer network. A computer generates in the display a pair of concentric rings representing the firewall, including outer and inner concentric rings each having segments respectively representing remote address ranges and local address ranges of the ACL rules. Selection of a segment causes generation of an accessibility curve between the selected segment and a pairing segment, thereby graphically representing accessibility between the corresponding remote and local address ranges.
