This section summarizes the required network ports and how they are configured. In general, these network ports must be allowed through host firewalls for correct operation.
Table 8.1. Network ports
Service | Protocol | Default Port Number | Configuration |
Administration | SSL using IPv4 or IPv6 | Randomly assigned valid free port > 1024. | See the section called “Administration” |
Administration Web Server | SSL or TCP using IPv4 | Randomly assigned valid free port > 1024. | See the section called “Administration” |
Distribution Transport | SSL or TCP using IPv4, IPv6, or IPoSDP (Infiniband) | Randomly assigned valid free port > 1024. | See the section called “DistributionListenerInterface” |
JMX Administration | TCP using IPv4 | Randomly assigned valid free port > 1024. | None. |
Service Discovery | UDP broadcast over IPv4 | 54321 | See the section called “Communication” |
Figure 8.1, “Network ports” shows how the required network ports are used to communicate between nodes and administration clients.
