24.The Guided Setup Wizard - Configure HMC Firewall for eth1 panel is now displayed
(Figure 4-24). Usually there is a firewall that controls outside access to your company’s
network. As the HMC is connected to the open network we can also restrict remote access
to this device by using the HMC built in firewall. There are various applications that run on
the HMC, which can be secured in order to protect the HMC from unauthorized remote
access.
