Regarding the port number to allow communication to be set in the FW

[Hideo]

Hello,

We are planning to deploy IntelEMA in the above network configuration.

Two questions.

The first question is about the port numbers to allow communication on the inbound side of the FW.

Intel® Endpoint Management Assistant (Intel® EMA) — Server Installation Guide

From the Server Network Ports table on page 16 of the above document, is it necessary to open all of the following TCP port numbers on the inbound side?

443,1443,8000,8080,8083,8085,8089,8092,8093,8094,8095,636/389,3269/3268

The second point is the port number to allow communication on the outbound side of the FW.

Do we need to open all the same port numbers on the outbound side as on the inbound side?

Looking forward to your response.

Best regards,

Hideo

Hello Hideo,

Greetings!

We understand you are looking for the necessary ports to enable communication for inbound and outbound endpoints in your environment. Below are the key ports that need to be configured:

• Port 443 (TCP) – General communication port
• Port 1443 – For SQL communication
• Port 8080 – Required for Swarm Server (EMA)
• Port 8000 – Default port for the Platform Manager (can be customized)

The other ports are optional and can be configured based on specific needs. For more detailed information, please refer to the Network section of the Intel EMA manual.

Enabling the ports should be done according to your requirements, so we recommend reaching out to your networking team for assistance in configuring these settings.

If you need further support, feel free to reach out.

Best regards,

Hello.

Vijay N.

Thanks for the reply.

For the following ports, is it necessary to set communication permission only for inbound communication? Or, is it necessary to set communication permission only for outbound? Or do both outbound and inbound ports require permission settings?
I could not find anything in the official documentation about whether the permission setting is required only for inbound, or only for outbound, or for both inbound and outbound.

Port 443 (TCP) - General communication port
Port 1443 - For SQL communication
Port 8080 - Required for Swarm Server (EMA)
Port 8000 - Default port for the Platform Manager (can be customized)

I understand that the other ports can also be configured to meet your needs. However, I am not sure if only inbound or outbound communication permissions are required, or if both inbound and outbound communication permissions are required.
Can you please tell me if each port is a permission setting that requires only inbound, or only outbound, or both inbound and outbound?

I look forward to your reply.

Best regards,

Hideo

Hello Hideo,

It is necessary to configure both inbound and outbound communication permissions for all the ports. This will ensure proper functionality and seamless communication between the services.
