Test Firewall installation to make sure Firewall is installed and working properly.

Before you begin

You must have enabled Firewall.

Task

  1. Add a rule to block SSH to a particular system.
    /opt/McAfee/ens/fw/bin/mfefwcli --fw-rule-add --index 1 --name "BlockSSH" --action deny --direction out --proto tcp --log enable --remote-service 22 --remote-single x.x.x.x
  2. Violate the added rule by trying to SSH to that machine.
    ssh user name@machine IP
  3. Verify that SSH is getting blocked for that IP in:
    /var/log/messages
  4. Verify your Firewall installation using this log file:
    /tmp/enslfw-epo-setup.log
