MicroStrategy ONE
Enabling Topology Communication Through a Firewall
MicroStrategy supports machines with registration services installed in the same subset as a MicroStrategy environment. If there is a firewall between MicroStrategy Services, make sure the specified ports (shown below) are allowed to send and receive TCP/UDP requests through the firewall, so the Services Registration agents can communicate properly. Consul uses both TCP and UDP, so make sure to allow both protocols.
- Server RPC (Default 8300)
This port is used by the communication agents to handle incoming requests from other agents. TCP only. - Serf LAN (Default 8301)
This port is used by all monitoring and communication agents to communicate with each other on the LAN. TCP and UDP. -
Serf WAN (Default 8302). Use this port for machine communication over a WAN. This port is used by servers to gossip over the WAN to other servers. TCP and UDP.
If you are performing a Windows installation and the firewall is on, the installer adds rules to open 8300 and 8301 for TCP and 8301 for UDP.
On machines with public IP addresses exposed to the internet, make sure firewall ports for Server RPC (default 8300), Serf LAN (default 8301), and Serf WAN (default 8302) are only for nodes within the Workstation topology cluster.
See the Consul documentation for more information on port requirements.
