Planning TCP/IP security
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is a common way that computers of all types communicate with each other.
TCP/IP applications are well-known and widely used throughout the Internet.
This topic provides tips for the following:
- Preventing TCP/IP applications from running on your system.
- Protecting system resources when you allow TCP/IP applications to run on your system.
Keep in mind that iSeries™ servers support many possible TCP/IP applications. When you decide to allow one TCP/IP application on your system, you may also be enabling other TCP/IP applications. As security administrator,
you need to be aware of the range of TCP/IP applications and the security implications of these applications.
