VP390/VP400 in Firewall Environments
Firewall Configuration in OVO
Special Configurations
VP390 and VP400 consists of an agent component that runs on the
mainframe and a server component that handles all communication
between agent and server as shown in Figure 1-6.
The agent TCP subtask requests the opening of two TPC/IP ports on the
mainframe, then waits for the VP390/VP400 server component to start
communication through these ports. All connections between these
components are initiated from the server but data may be sent from the
agent to the server (in the same way as messages being sent to the
message server). The communication is based on TCP sockets.
