For most deployments there is no need to add firewall rules to block the standard storage services like NFS, CIFS, iSCSI. That said, for systems with ports that are facing public networks it is useful to block services that are not being used.


Blocking Network Share Access

Blocking NFS

If you're not using Network Shares with NFS you can block NFS service access like so:

touch /etc/init.d/iptables.blocknfs
service iptables restart

Blocking CIFS/SMB

If you're not using Network Shares with CIFS/SMB Windows clients you can block SMB access to the Samba service access like so:

touch /etc/init.d/iptables.blocksmb
service iptables restart

Blocking iSCSI Access

If you're not using Storage Volumes via iSCSI you can block access to the iSCSI target service access like so:

touch /etc/init.d/iptables.blockiscsi
service iptables restart
