12.3 Setting Firewall Rules

The iptables firewall needs a new rule that allows an external server to send requests to, or receive events from the JMS message bus. By default, the MS does not allow other servers access to the JMS bus. To allow a host to send or receive messages, a rule must be added to the onboard firewall.

To add the firewall rule:

Command line window

Enter the following command:

iptables -I INPUT -s<host> -m tcp -p tcp --dport 61616 -j ACCEPT

Where <host> is the external server IP address.
