Remote support security
This section describes the security design for remote support for the TS3500 Tape
Library through a system console.
The TS3000 System Console (TSSC) provides Ethernet connectivity to all attached
systems through a private internal network. Up to two modems can be attached to
the TSSC. The TSSC provides Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) connectivity through
the modems to the private Ethernet network.
The TSSC also provides optional Ethernet outbound connectivity through the
customer's network to the IBM service support system, RETAIN
®
. All inbound
communication over this connection is restricted. The TSSC uses the following
ports: HTTPS: Port 443 HTTP: Port 80, and DNS: Port 53.
Figure 14 on page 64 shows an overview of network connectivity.
