523 port

[BeatrixKiddo]

Which the security implication of having the port 523 reachable from any address in my network?

Can I set an access list for this port in the DB configuration?

Are there other ports I should condier to close for normal users?

i don't think you can setup 'accesslist' for port 523 from within db2.

you can disable discovery at the admin server and instance levels.

db2 get admin configuration
db2 get dbm cfg

and look for discovry / discover_inst parms
