Connect your H3C Firewall (SecPath, Comware) so Myrmex can read its configuration, audit its hardening, help you clean up security policies, and — with approval — apply changes. Myrmex reaches the firewall over SSH through a Collector on your network.

​
What Myrmex Can Do

Read & troubleshoot

Inspect system status, interfaces, security zones, routing, sessions, policies, NAT, and VPN — read-only diagnostics.

Hardening audit

Run a Security Posture audit against the firewall configuration.

Policy hygiene

Find unused or overly broad security policies and propose cleanups.

Config management

Back up, diff, and — on approval — apply policy and configuration changes.

​
Before You Start

  • A Collector deployed on a network that can reach the firewall’s management IP over SSH. See Deploying the agent.
  • SSH enabled on the firewall’s management interface.
  • A login account Myrmex can use (a read-only user is enough for analysis; a user with configuration rights is required to apply changes).

​
Step 1 — Create the Access Account on H3C

1

Enable SSH on the firewall

Enable the SSH server and bind it to the VTY lines so the Collector can log in over SSH.
2

Create a local user

Add a local user with a strong password and set its service type to SSH. Assign a role scoped to what Myrmex should do — a read-only role for analysis, or a management role to allow changes.
3

Note the credentials

Record the username and password — you’ll enter them in Myrmex.
Prefer least privilege: start with a read-only user, and grant configuration rights only once you want the agents to apply changes for you.

​
Step 2 — Add the Integration in Myrmex

From the Directory, choose Add Integration → H3C Firewall, then fill in:

​
Connect

Click Connect to validate the SSH connection and finish. The firewall then appears under Environment → Integrations, and you can start asking the AI about it in the Workspace.
