Which Firewall Ports need to open to Access StorageGRID S3 Buckets on Linux and Windows Hosts?
Applies to
- StorageGRID
- Windows
- Linux
Answer
By default, platform services messages are sent on the following ports:
-
80: For endpoint URIs that begin with http (most endpoints)
-
443: For endpoint URIs that begin with https (most endpoints)
-
9092: For endpoint URIs that begin with http or https (Kafka endpoints only)
If any additional ports are used by the load balancer, those ports must be open on the firewall to allow access to the S3 buckets.
