Firewall and Firewall Request
Firewalls are network appliances used to protect our NUS resources by blocking unwanted communication and allowing only what is “required” for the application/service.
Firewalls are setup in different network segments, protecting our NUS resources. By default, it will deny all the communication unless specifically allowed.
Anyone setting up a new server or application hosted in NUS Data Center that needs communication with other servers/services in the Data Center or Internet will require Firewall ports to be opened/whitelisted for the client/server communication.
A Firewall Request is required to whitelist the client-server communication. The request can be submitted for an IP group, an IP address, a URL or a Domain.
Who can use it?
Firewall Request is available to Staff and Visitors with a valid NUS-ID.
