Discussion

The greater the number of protocols allowed active on the network the more vulnerabilities there will be available to be exploited. This also prevents accidental implementation of a “call-home” feature that is not allowed.

Check Content

The reviewer will verify the configuration settings in the MFD or Network Printer to ensure the only protocol enabled is TCP/IP.<br /><br />If a protocol other than TCP/IP is enabled, this is a finding.

Fix Text
