Network port requirements
You might need to allow the following ports through your datacenter’s edge firewall so
that you can manage the system remotely, allow clients outside of your datacenter to
connect to resources, and ensure that internal services can function properly. Some of
these ports, URLs, or IP addresses might not be required, depending on how you use the
system. All ports are TCP unless stated otherwise.
