Internal grid node communications

PDFs
The StorageGRID internal firewall only allows incoming connections to specific ports on the Grid Network, with the exception of ports 22, 80, 123, and 443 (see the information about external communications). Connections are also accepted on ports defined by load balancer endpoints.
|
NetApp recommends that you enable Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) traffic between grid nodes. Allowing ICMP traffic can improve failover performance when a grid node cannot be reached. |
In addition to ICMP and the ports listed in the table, StorageGRID uses the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP). VRRP is an internet protocol that uses IP protocol number 112. StorageGRID uses VRRP in unicast mode only. VRRP is required only if high availability (HA) groups are configured.
Guidelines for Linux-based nodes
If enterprise networking policies restrict access to any of these ports, you can remap ports at deployment time using a deployment configuration parameter. For more information about port remapping and deployment configuration parameters, see the installation instructions for your Linux platform.
Guidelines for VMware-based nodes
Configure the following ports only if you need to define firewall restrictions that are external to VMware networking.
If enterprise networking policies restrict access to any of these ports, you can remap ports when you deploy nodes using the VMware vSphere Web Client, or by using a configuration file setting when automating grid node deployment. For more information about port remapping and deployment configuration parameters, see the installation instructions for VMware.
Guidelines for appliance Storage Nodes
If enterprise networking policies restrict access to any of these ports, you can remap ports using the StorageGRID Appliance Installer. For more information about port remapping for appliances, see the installation instructions for your storage appliance.
