Configuring the Firewall
Configure the firewall between your server and the Internet as follows.
1
Deny all incoming traffic from the Internet to your server.
2
Permit incoming traffic from all clients to TCP port 135 (and UDP port 135, if necessary) on
your server.
3
Open Port 445 (WMI).
4
Permit incoming traffic from all clients to the TCP ports (and UDP ports, if necessary) on
your server in the Ports ranges specified.
5
Permit incoming traffic on all ports where the TCP connection was initiated by your server if
you are using callbacks.
WMI queries succeed only if you add the user account to a local admin group. Refer to the
Microsoft knowledgebase articles for the way to do this. For example, Leverage Group Policies
with WMI Filters.
For user rights for WMI access, see:

Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) Driver
The Web-Based Enterprise Management driver currently supports operating systems supporting
the Web-Based Enterprise Management interface (WBEM).
WBEM is always installed on the following operating systems versions, and later:
• Red Hat Linux and/or CentOS 6.2, 6.4
• VM Ware (ESX) with WBEM installed.
You can install Web-Based Enterprise Management on some other systems if they do not already
use it, but monitored devices must have this installed.
NOTE:
To verify WBEM is running on your system, run the following command:
ps -e | grep cim
. You
should see a process labelled
cimserver
.
Installing WBEM on Red Hat
You can download and install WBEM support for Red Hat Linux. For example, for Red Hat 6.2, a
release for WBEM is
tog-pegasus-2.12.0-3.el6_4.x86_64.rpm
. This is what you need
to download once you have logged into the Red Hat network.
Install this as follows:
Install:
rpm -ih tog-pegasus-2.12.0-3.el6_4.x86_64.rpm
Upgrade:
rpm -Uh tog-pegasus-2.12.0-3.el6_4.x86_64.rpm
To determine if wbem is running, run
ps -ef | grep cimserver
in a shell.
To start | stop | get status of the WBEM service:
tog-pegasus start | stop | status"
