8.6 Firewall

Use the Firewall tool to view your current firewall configuration directly from the appliance. By default, all ports are blocked except those needed by the appliance. For example, the Login page for the Appliance Management 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. See Appliance Management Console: Ports and Firewalls.
