The following table describes the type of appliances that implement the security features discussed in the rest of this section. Appliances come with a predefined set of software components installed on the appliance. Appliances can be physical appliances (PowerEdge series hardware) or virtual appliances (VMware® vSphere®). Both physical and virtual appliances can exist in the same installation, with some restrictions.

The following assumptions are made about the installed environment:
• |
The password for the default setup account on each appliance is changed during the initial setup. |
• |
Appliances include multiple layers of defense to protect against intrusions and hack attempts:
Appliances also include a built-in firewall which provides additional security beyond what is provided by the network environment. This firewall is constructed using the firewall rule-set building utility Bastille-Linux® (for details, see http://bastille-linux.sourceforge.net/). The firewall limits external access to the HTTP or HTTPS port for report viewing and additional ports used for intra-component communications.
If command-line access is needed for Quest Support to run low-level diagnostic procedures, customers may optionally open the SSH port. For more information, see Enable remote access using SSH.
