software and unlikely to be a target of programs designed to attack PC-based systems like
Microsoft, Linux, and others. However, you can still take additional steps to minimize risk.
VBrick tries to make installation as simple and quick installation and many features are
automatically enabled by default even though you may not need them. You can selectively
disable unneeded features to reduce vulnerability. Another common problem is Denial of
Service (DoS) attacks. A DoS sends floods of packets to an unsuspecting remote system in an
attempt to disrupt or stop normal operation. These unsuspecting remote systems are typically
discovered using ICMP or ping. It is standard industry practice to block all ICMP and ping
requests from off-net foreign hosts. This is typically done in a centralized location using
router/firewall technology which is more successful and cost effective than resolving the
issue at each host.
Configuration: System > Logging
Logging of certain events can be stored both locally (within the VBrick device) or externally
(for example, to a server). Local logs are preserved in non-volatile memory. For preservation
of information, it is recommended that remote logging be utilized. Remote servers generally
offer ample storage and offer the additional benefit of collecting log information from
several VBricks simultaneously. When logging externally, specify either the IP address or
hostname of the actual server using the
