Prepare network access for NetApp Console

Contributors netapp-tonias

NetApp Console, the NetApp Console agent, and NetApp data services require outbound internet access and the ability to contact the necessary endpoints.

You'll need to set up network access for the following:

  • Computers that access the NetApp Console as software as a service (SaaS)

  • Console agents you install on-premises or in the cloud. Console agents.

Note With 4.0.0, NetApp has reduced the required network endpoints for the Console and Console agents, enhancing security and simplifying deployment. Importantly, all deployments prior to version 4.0.0 continue to be fully supported. While previous endpoints remain available for existing agents, NetApp strongly recommends updating firewall rules to the current endpoints after confirming successful agent upgrades.Learn how to update your endpoint list.

Endpoints contacted by NetApp Console and Console agents

Each agent you deploy and each computer that accesses the NetApp Console must have connections to the endpoints listed below.

Console agents that are deployed in your cloud provider need access to endpoints respective to that cloud provider.

Endpoints Purpose

  • When you deploy a new agent, the validation check tests connectivity to current endpoints. If you use previous endpoints, the validation check fails. To avoid this failure, skip the validation check.

    Although the previous endpoints are still supported, NetApp recommends updating your firewall rules to the current endpoints as soon as possible. Learn how to update your endpoint list.

  • When you update to the current endpoints in your firewall, your existing agents will continue to work.

Cloud provider endpoints contacted the Console agent

Console agents must have access to additional endpoints if they are deployed in your cloud provider.

Set up cloud provider network endpoint access before installing the Console agent.

Data services endpoints contacted by the Console agent

Some NetApp data services as well as Cloud Volumes ONTAP require the agent to have additional outbound internet access.
