Firewall

If you use TCP/IP communication between the access node and the IBM i clients, then the following requirements apply:

• The firewall configuration on the access node must include settings to accept a communication request from a client that uses the selected TCP/IP port range. For information on how to set the ports, see Controlling the Ports for IBM i or OpenVMS File System Clients.

• The firewall configuration on the client must include settings to accept a communication from an access node computer that uses port 9401 (or the TCP/IP port number configured that is configured for the access node).

• The firewall configuration on the access node must include the range of bidirectional ports to transfer data between the IBM i client and the access node, along with the communication port.
