View source for Requesting Open Ports on the JHU Firewall

==INTRO==

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==
===New, Official Method===

Please see:

[http://it.jhu.edu/security/Public_IP_Addressing_NEW http://it.jhu.edu/security/Public_IP_Addressing_NEW]

for instructions to request port openings through the JHU Firewall. 

''All questions regarding the instructions need to be addressed to JHU Networking or JHU Network Security.''  THe JHU Helpdesk at 410-516-HELP may be able to direct your questions to the correct team.


=== Alternative (Older) Method If Unable To Use Above Method===

All port opening/closing requests should be sent ''by the requester'' to 
[mailto:network.security@jhmi.edu network.security@jhmi.edu] as JHU's Network Security team is 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.
