Prepare network access for NetApp Console
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.
|
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 |

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.
