AIX NIM (with NFS) thru Firewall

[norestore]

Hello,

in thread "thread52-1258918" there was already the question about the possibilities to configure some "secure NIM/NFS" for use in DMZ-configurations ... but no solution.

Now I'm also on duty to customize such an Network Installation Management environment. This should include the bootp/tftp function.

The ports should be reduced to the minimum required.

Does anyone has experiences with that?

Thanks and regards,
Martin

following should be enough:

bootps udp 67
tftp udp 69
nim tcp 1058
nfs tcp 2049
sunrpc udp 111
