You must know which port number to use when connecting the Swift client to the Storage Node or API Gateway Node.
The following ports are used by Swift clients to connect to the StorageGRID system. You use different ports to connect to Storage Nodes than to connect to API Gateway Nodes. The port number also depends on whether the HTTP grid option has been enabled and you are using an HTTP connection.
| Grid node | Use | Port number |
|---|---|---|
| API Gateway Node | Swift port for HTTPS | 8083 |
| Swift port for HTTP | 8085 | |
| Storage Node | Swift port for HTTPS | 18083 |
