Multi-Node Port Requirements

The ports listed in Cisco UCS Director TCP and UDP Port Usage are applicable for both single and multi-node setups.

For a multi-node setup, the following ports need to be opened between the nodes:

  • From the primary and service node(s) to database nodes: port 3306

  • From the primary node to service node(s): ports 80 and 443
