9.4.1 Firewall support

JP1/IM and JP1/Base can operate in a firewall environment if you perform the appropriate settings in the firewall. Network environments behind packet-filtering and NAT (static mode)-based firewalls are supported. When setting the firewall, see the lists of port numbers in the appendixes of the manuals for JP1/IM and JP1/Base. Also note the following points when setting the firewall:

There are two forms of communication between the manager and agent. In one form, communication takes place according to the system hierarchy definition; in the other, the manager communicates directly with the target host (see 7.3 Communication performed in the JP1/IM system environment). You must set up the firewall in a manner that allows both types of communication.

JP1/IM and JP1/Base use ports to communicate even when that communication takes place within a local host. If you use JP1/IM and JP1/Base on a host set up as a firewall, the firewall must permit local traffic through all ports used by JP1/IM and JP1/Base.
