Step 1 – Set up network components

Set up the network components by completing all the necessary changes to the network to allow the Standby Ivanti EPMM server to come up and function as the Primary Ivanti EPMM. Setup and configure network traffic components such as load balancer or DNS as described in this section.

Ivanti recommends to allow HTTPS traffic on port 8443 from the corporate network, limited to Ivanti applications only. This service is intended for EPMM server management and must have strictly controlled access.

Ivanti recommends restricting access to port 22 or SSH from the internal corporate network only. This service is intended for Ivanti Standalone Sentry System Manager and must have strictly controlled access.
