If you have a firewall on the internal network, you may need to adjust its policy to open ports for back-end applications with which the appliance must communicate. In addition to opening ports for standard network services such as DNS and email, you may need to modify your firewall policy before the appliance can access the services shown in the below table. Opening your firewall to permit SSH access is optional,but can be useful for performing administrative tasks from a remote system.
