Requesting Open Ports on the JHU Firewall

Revision as of 17:40, 2 October 2014 by Steve410.cs.jhu.edu (talk | contribs)

CS does not have a network firewall in place, but JHU has a perimeter firewall in place between the Internet and JHU. 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 requestor to network.security@jhmi.edu as they are responsible for the JHU perimeter firewall. You will have to provide

a) specific reasons as to the need of each of your port openings,

and

b) 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.)


You are welcome to cc 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.
