Avaya Exam 71801X Topic 7 Question 43 Discussion

For Avaya IX Messaging, the Windows Firewall settings are crucial for ensuring the security and proper communication between the different components of the system. The true statements regarding Windows Firewall configuration are:

B . After installation, Windows Firewall can be turned on for the Consolidated Server, but must remain turned off for the primary and secondary Voice Servers. This is because the Consolidated Server may need to communicate with other network components that require Windows Firewall to be enabled, while the Voice Servers need to have unrestricted communication within the system, which could be impeded by the firewall.

C . Servers running Avaya Messaging must have Windows Firewall turned on during software installation only. This temporary enabling of the firewall during installation helps protect the system during the setup process when it might be vulnerable to external threats. After installation, the firewall settings can be adjusted according to the system's operational requirements and security policies.
