Firewall Rules
The Firewall Rules page allows you to configure the firewall for your UCX system. When UCX is installed, there is a set of default firewall rules, which are not active.
Prior to activating the firewall, first go to Define Ports page to make sure the port numbers are up to date.
To activate the Firewall, perform the following steps:
- Open the UCX Web-based Configuration Utility
- From the Security tab, select Firewall
- From the left side column, select Firewall Rules
- Press the Activate Firewall button
Default Rules
The following diagram shows the default firewall rules for a newly installed R6.0 system. If your system was upgraded from a previous release, the existing rules are retained and the new R6.0 defaults will not be in the list.
