Instead of configuring the firewall ports by using the
workload console operations, you can use a command line. You can disable
firewall protection for specific ports, or disable the firewall itself
by using SSH.
About this task
By default the firewall and iptable rules are enabled on
every virtual machine in the deployed in a pattern. Rules are enabled
by default to support communication among the
Rational® Integration Tester,
Proxy, Test Control Panel, and Agents. Rules also exist to support
the calculator sample that is included with the
Rational Test Control Panel.
However, new rules must be defined when you use the Proxy or Agents
with specific applications. An alternative option is to disable the
firewall entirely for the instance.
