9.6 Product Network Filters
9.6.1 Overview
What is PNF? PNF is an acronym for Product Network Filters. It is a user interface used to configure
a host-based software firewall; found on all GEHC Linux Diagnostic Imaging products since 2005.
Why does PNF exist? It is GEHC's response to customer's need for increased product security.
PNF secures the product network interface (including remote service) and significantly reduce the
risk of virus/worm attacks on the system.
How does it affect me? In most cases, system installation requires no-extra effort or actions by the
user. However, custom network environments may require configuration and require configuration
of PNF feature.
9.6.2 Options
PNF is configured using the SUIF (Service User Interface).
