Web Server within Web Cluster

Internal Outgoing Connections

The WebHosting Linux service specific ports are opened automatically when a web cluster node is deployed. Common firewall configuration is provided below.

From To Protocol Port

Web cluster node (HEWSL) – BackNet NIC or FrontNet NIC

DNS Resolver Server – BackNet NIC or FrontNet NIC

TCP, UDP

53

External Native Repositories (YUM repositories) – BackNet NIC or FrontNet NIC TCP

Custom port range

Note: The destination hosts and ports may vary depending on YUM repositories.

Web cluster node (HEWSL) – BackNet NIC

Shared Storage server (ISCSI) – BackNet NIC

TCP, UDP

3260

Web cluster node (HEWSL) TCP 5404, 5405 (corosync), 21064 (dlm)
Load Balancer server (HELB) – BackNet NIC UDP 8649 (Ganglia)
CloudBlue Commerce Management Node on Linux (LINMN) – BackNet NIC TCP 8352-8500 (except 8440), 6380-6430 (Redis replication, one port for each registered web server or web cluster), 80, 16384
MySQL Database Server (MYSQL) – BackNet NIC TCP 3306
PgSQL Database Server (PGSQL) – BackNet NIC TCP 5432
Backup Server (CUSTBACKUP) – BackNet NIC TCP 8352
Mail Sender ID Server (MAILSID) – BackNet NIC TCP 22

Internal Incoming Connections

From To Protocol Port

CloudBlue Commerce Management Node on Linux (LINMN) – BackNet NIC

Web cluster node (HEWSL) – BackNet NIC

TCP

8352-8500 (except 8440), 22 (SSH)

Shared storage (ISCSI) – BackNet NIC TCP 3260
Web cluster node (HEWSL) TCP 5404, 5405 (corosync), 21064 (dlm)
Backup Server (CUSTBACKUP) – BackNet NIC TCP 8352
Primary/Secondary NFS server – BackNet NIC TCP, UDP 111, 10300:10302
Linux FileManager Server (WSNG/HEWSL) – FrontNet NIC

Web cluster node (HEWSL) – FrontNet NIC

TCP 21 (FTP control channel), 60000:65535 (FTP passive mode)
Load Balancer (HELB) – FrontNet NIC TCP *

Note: The Direct Routing load balancing method is used in CloudBlue Commerce (http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/VS-DRouting.html), therefore the FrontNet NIC of your load balancer and the FrontNet NICs of web cluster nodes must be connected to the same segment of your physical network.

External Incoming Connections

The connection between web cluster nodes and the Load Balancer is established via the FrontNet network.

Note: The port numbers are the same both for the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
