Configuring The Firewall For Acs - Aastra AXD Installation And Maintenance Manual

CONFIGURING THE FIREWALL FOR ACS

The installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 is described in the "Red Hat Installation
Guide" (see reference documents). For a simplified installation, this document
recommends that the firewall be deactivated.
For the ACS application, the use of a firewall is, nevertheless, recommended in
order to secure the network. In this case, the firewall must be configured in such a
way that it will not filter the ports required by the application to work properly.
This paragraph specifies the Red Hat configuration elements required for ACS installation.
To access the firewall configuration menu:
Click System > Administration > Security level and firewall.
In the firewall options tab:
