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://www.it.johnshopkins.edu/security/NonCloud_Public_IP_Addressing  http://www.it.johnshopkins.edu/security/NonCloud_Public_IP_Addressing]

:for instructions to request port openings through the JHU Firewall. 

<span style="color:#ff0000">''All '''questions''' and '''follow-up''' regarding these instructions need to be addressed to '''JHU Networking''' or '''JHU Network Security''' ([mailto:nsi@jhui.edu nsi@jhu.edu]). The JHU Helpdesk at '''410-516-HELP''' may be able to direct your questions to the correct team.''</span>

<br>

=== Alternative (Older) Method If Unable To Use Above Method (Link Not Working, Etc.)===

All port opening/closing requests should be emailed ''by the requester'' to 
[mailto:network.security@jhmi.edu nsi@jhu.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.  <!--(We will discuss security scans later in this page.)-->

<span style="color:#ff0000">''All '''questions''' and '''follow-up''' regarding these instructions need to be addressed to [mailto:nsi@jhu.edu nsi@jhu.edu]''</span>

<!-- '''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.-->
