    iPlex Installation and Hardware Specification Guide Internet Security Concerns The possible risks when a iPlex (or any equipment from any vendor, for that mat- ter) connects directly to the Internet: • Unauthorized access (break-in): unauthorized individuals can take control of the device, modify its configuration, bring it down, etc.

  • Page 91: Denial-Of-Service (Dos)

    iPlex Installation and Hardware Specification Guide NOTE TANDBERG Television generally makes the MIB available only iPlex to customers and prospective customers. However, for security pur- poses, one should not rely on that. Users are strongly urged to use secure community strings for SNMP access. In addition to the measures described in this section, users are strongly urged to deploy firewalls or configure their networks to prevent access from unauthorized third parties.

    iPlex Installation and Hardware Specification Guide NOTE It is strongly recommended that the firewall only allow access to the SSH and HTTPS ports. This option is very similar to the one depicted in the second diagram, but without the need of address translation. It also has the same disadvantages, and the firewall must be configured with an access list of allowed IP addresses, or there is no point in having a firewall at all.
