IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Basic (automatic) implementation
IBM Tivoli Monitoring supports most common firewall configurations.
To enable this support, IBM Tivoli Monitoring uses the IP.PIPE socket address family, a TCP-based protocol that opens a single port on the firewall for communication by IBM Tivoli Monitoring components.
If your target environment includes a firewall between any IBM Tivoli Monitoring components, specify IP.PIPE or IP.SPIPE as your communication protocol during configuration. Typically, no other special configuration is needed.
