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)

  • Network locations where you deploy Console agents you install on-premises or in the cloud.

  • Additional endpoints for certain NetApp data services, including Cloud Volumes ONTAP.

Note 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 the NetApp Console

Each computer that accesses the NetApp Console must have connections to the endpoints listed below.

The system contacts these endpoints in two scenarios:

  • From a computer accessing the NetApp Console as software as a service (SaaS).

  • From a computer directly accessing an Console agent host, either to log in and set it up or access the Console from the agent host.

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.

Prepare networking for the Console agent

You install the Console agent on-premises or in the cloud, and it contacts endpoints to complete Console-initiated actions.

Console agents must have access to the same endpoints as the NetApp Console, plus additional endpoints depending on where you install the agent.

Set up network endpoint access before installing the Console agent.

Prepare networking for Cloud Volumes ONTAP

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

Endpoints for Cloud Volumes ONTAP

Refer to the respective NetApp data services documentation.
