Securing Connections Between a C-series Controller and Remote Hosts

For security reasons, take care to limit the number of open ports you configure for applications and SRC components on the external interfaces. To review the default port settings for SRC components, see SRC-PE Getting Started Guide, Chapter 34, Defining an Initial Configuration on a Solaris Platform which provides information about an initial configuration on a Solaris platform.

By default, SSH for non-root users is enabled on C-series Controllers. Otherwise, you configure the C-series Controller to explicitly allow users on remote systems to access it. Table 1 lists the applications through which remote users can access a C-series Controller.
