    Hello Airheads:

     

    I would like your help with a procedure to close default ports that it hasn't been used. We would like to close some default ports for security reasons.

     

    I found a description of the ports and we don't use some services like 1723, 500, 8082, etc.

    Best regards

    If you haven't already, please look at the ArubaOS Hardening Guide     here:  https://support.arubanetworks.com/Documentation/tabid/77/EntryId/16036/DMXModule/512/Default.aspx to see if it will answer any of your questions about that.

    Why do you want to block those ports?  Your answer will determine the proper method to be used.

    for security reasons, we had an internal vulnerabilities scanning and the security department asked us to block these ports.

    I would save some time and give your security group that document.  Many automated scanners generate false positives for those ports.
