Can FireWall-1 inspect IPX packets?

Firewall-1 completely ignores other IP level protocols, such as IPX and DECNET, which are processed by a different protocol stack. This means that if these protocol stacks are installed on the gateway they will be passed without being inspected. Installing protocol stacks on the gateway which are not inspected by FireWall-1 is considered a security risk.
