VCS-Expressway security question

[Qiyu Bao]

hi, just want to know that how the VCS-E server itself  works to avoid attacking 

whether the outside LAN IP can not be ping and web access?  or any other ways? 

thanks a lot

All depends on your deployment, i.e. if you put the VCS-E in a DMZ or completely out in the wild. Otherwise web access (https), ssh and console access can be turned on/off as required on the VCS itself. In the end it's entirely up to you how you protect the system from attacks. Take a look at the deployment guide: http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/telepresence/infrastructure/vcs/config_guide/X8-2/Cisco-VCS-Basic-Configuration-Control-with-Expressway-Deployment-Guide-X8-2.pdf

Also suggest you take a look at the admin guide: http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/telepresence/infrastructure/vcs/admin_guide/Cisco-VCS-Administrator-Guide-X8-2.pdf - see "Intrusion protection" in particular.
