Respond to warnings

During the discovery process, if issues are found that interfere with the normal operation of the IBM® BigFix® Remote Control components, a Warnings node is displayed in the IBM BigFix Remote Control navigation tree.

Note: If no issues are found during the discovery process, this node is not displayed in the navigation panel.

This node displays relevant Fixlets that you can use to resolve the issues on any applicable computers. When the IBM BigFix Remote Control target software is installed, a default firewall rule is created to open the inbound IBM BigFix Remote Control port. If the target operating system is blocking this port, use a Fixlet to add a rule to enable inbound TCP connections for IBM BigFix Remote Control.

Note: The SUSE firewall Fixlet is not relevant when the firewall is started manually, it is only relevant when the firewall is in automatic mode.
