2.5 Configuring the Firewall

You can view your current firewall configuration directly from the appliance in the Firewall tab. It lists the port numbers that the appliance expects to use on your network and the current status of each port. By default, all ports are blocked except those that are required by the appliance. For example, the Login page for the Configuration Console uses port 9443, so this port is open by default.

NOTE:To have a seamless experience with the appliance, ensure that you do not block the ports with your firewall settings.

To view firewall settings for the appliance:

  1. Log in to the Configuration Console as the root user.

  2. Click Firewall.

    The Firewall page lists port numbers with the current status of each port number. The page is not editable.
