Thanks

Looking at this list and the firewall requests that have been raised, it
seems we're covered.

Interesting as noted we have a zBC12 in the same room and there is no
problem accessing it and the new HMC'S for the z14 are in the same subnet
so should be covered by the same firewall rules.

However nobody can tell if they've ever tried to access the SE on the zBC12
remotely because as another poster said, if your configuration is stable
then there is little need to do that.

That could certainly point to a firewall rule that's never been tested.

Again back to my original point, why can't the support element
configuration be done locally why we try to figure out the network issues
for remote access
