Opening Ports
An important aspect of firewalls is the ports and protocols that will be able to communicate with external applications. It is assumed that FOXMAN-UN and DIRAC are running on the same host. However, make sure that any firewall between the DIRAC server and the SENC1 units lets pass the management traffic.
The following table shows the protocols used for management traffic with the DIRAC server.
Protocol | Application / service | Port number | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
TCP/HTTPS | GRPC | 9009 | Used by the DIRAC server to access the SENC1 Functional Unit. |
TCP | SSH | 22 | Used by the DIRAC CLI SSH client as destination port for the SSH session (initiated by the SSH client). |
HTTP | REST | 443 | Used for the management communication between the DIRAC server and FOXMAN-UN. Not relevant for the firewall settings if FOXMAN-UN and DIRAC are running on the same host. |
