Security Checklist
Although your Peregrine appliance will operate even if you do not follow these
procedures, we strongly recommend that you take the following steps to
reduce risk.
Step 1 Place your Peregrine appliance behind your institution/corporation’s
firewall.
The Peregrine appliance stores a lot of information about your network. You
do not want this information to be publicly available.
Information about the firewall ports to enable is in Choose how to receive
Peregrine Systems Customer Support on page 27 and Enable firewall ports
on page 28 .
Step 2 Change the write community string of the Peregrine appliance.
This is a documented community string, known to:
„
Admin accounts at your site
„
existing and prospective Network Discovery customers
Anyone who knows the default write community string will be able to
change the SNMP MIB of your Peregrine appliance.
There is more information in Change the Peregrine appliance community
strings on page 77 .
