(1) Notes
-
There are two types of communication between the manager and the agents: communications performed according to the system hierarchy (IM configuration), and direct communication between hosts (see 7.3 Communication performed in the JP1/IM system environment). The firewall settings must support the type of communication being used.
-
JP1/IM and JP1/Base use ports even for communication within the local host. If you are using JP1/IM and JP1/Base on the host set up as a firewall, the firewall settings must permit local traffic through all the ports used by JP1/IM and JP1/Base.
