Configuring firewall settings

Disable settings before you install the ICFM tools client. Note that after installation completes successfully, you can restore your previous settings.

Procedure

To configure the firewall settings:

  1. Open a command prompt in "Run as administrator" mode (or PowerShell) and enter: 
    netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off
  2. To verify that Windows Firewall for all networks is off, enter: 
    netsh advfirewall show all

    The state should indicate off for Domain, Private, and Public profile settings.

    Attention: After you complete installation of the ICFM tools client, you can re-enable the firewall with the following command:
    netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state on
  3. If Microsoft (Windows Defender®) or any third party (Norton by Symantec, McAfee, and so on) antivirus software is enabled, you must disable this software before you install the ICFM tools client. You can re-enable the antivirus tool after installing the ICFM tools client.
