Setting network security

The Network Security page in the HCP System Management Console lets you allow or prevent these services on HCP nodes:

Ping — When you enable this service, you can use ping to check network connectivity to HCP nodes.

SSH login by authorized service and support representatives — Enabling SSH facilitates troubleshooting when you request support.

Restrict anonymous access to CIFS — Enabling this service restricts anonymous users from accessing CIFS on the hosts in their system. Anonymous users may still access CIFS shares explicitly configured to allow anonymous access in namespace protocol settings.

Enable Node Status — When you enable this service, you can use enable node status command to check the health of your nodes.
