View source for Requesting Open Ports on the JHU Firewall

CS does ''not'' have a network firewall in place, but JHU has a perimeter firewall in place between the Internet and JHU.  <!-- If you are running your own server on the CS network and need ports open on the JHU Firewall, there are several items to consider.  -->  If you need a port open on the JHU Firewall, '''''you''''' need to request it from JHU.

==Requesting JHU to Open a Firewall Port==

All port opening/closing requests should be sent by the requester to 
[mailto:network.security@jhmi.edu network.security@jhmi.edu] as they are responsible for the JHU perimeter firewall.  You will have to provide


a) your system's full hostname (including the domain part) and IP address.

and

b) specific reasons as to the need of each of your port openings.

and

c) allow JHU <!--(or CS)--> to run security scans on any equipment for which you request port openings for those IPs of yours needing port openings.  <!--(We will discuss security scans later in this page.)-->


'''NOTE:'''  You are welcome to CC: [mailto:support@cs.jhu.edu support@cs.jhu.edu] in your request e-mail(s) to JHU 
Network Security, so that we can follow the conversation.  But, for the most 
part, the conversation will be between you and JHU Network Security.
