AIX NIM backup with Firewall
Hi-

I'm using NIM functionality (AIX5.3) to backup all AIX Servers but some Servers are in the DmZ and many tcpip ports (nfs, ping,etc...) should be open and... it's really a security risks!

As anyone experience about NIM Backup through Firewall?
Which tcpip ports should be open?
Could we restricted them?

regards, nymus-

last place i worked we setup a NIM server in the DMZ and added NIC cards in for each DMZ zone. thus avoiding comprimizing any firewalls.
