Run the configure firewall command to start, stop, or configure ping
for the Address Manager firewall.
The Address Manager firewall is enabled by default. It's used to secure the
server against attacks.
Warning: Upon an
upgrade to Address Manager v9.5.0, ping settings will match the
previous configuration. However, enabling the new firewall
option in Address Manager will replace the previous
firewall configuration with the new default ruleset. Previous
manually created firewall rules will not migrate automatically
and must be configured on the new firewall. Refer to the
Customer Care portal (KI-17762) for more
information on migrating existing firewall rules to the new
firewall.
Warning: BlueCat strongly advises against
disabling the Address Manager
firewall. Disabling the firewall should only be
performed for servers in a secure environment and only for short
periods of time.

- From Main Session mode, type configure firewall and press ENTER.
-

- start—to start the Address Manager firewall.
- stop—to disable the Address Manager firewall.
- set allow-ping enable—to allow the Address Manager server to be pinged.
