	For most deployments there is no need to add firewall rules to block the standard storage services like NFS, CIFS, iSCSI and by default QuantaStor appliances ''do not'' have firewalls blocking standard services. That said, for systems deployed with elevated security requirements or systems with ports that are facing public networks it is useful to block services that are not being used. The following sections outline how to block various storage services within QuantaStor using firewall rules. These options are available with QuantaStor 3.15.1 release or newer.

	Note that Gluster Volumes can be accessed via the GlusterFS client on Linux systems which does not require access to the NFS/CIFS services. In these cases you can enable firewall rules to block NFS/CIFS access but note that the firewalls apply to all Network Shares, not just Gluster Volumes.

			touch /etc/init.d/iptables.secure

			The 'qs-util disablehttp' command also performs this same change.
