Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B, C

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.

Haha, this question is a real head-scratcher. I'm just going to go with whichever answers involve the most firewall-related puns. 'Firewall' is such a fun word, don't you think?

This is a tricky one, but I think the right answers are C and D. Windows Firewall has to be on for Avaya Messaging, but it should stay off for those servers permanently.

Nah, I'm pretty sure A and C are the correct ones. You have to configure the exceptions first before turning on Windows Firewall. And the Avaya servers need it on permanently, not just during installation.

I'm not sure about option B. Can we turn on Windows Firewall for the Consolidated Server only?
