|
|
<div><p>If you are using clustering in a network that uses firewalls, you
|
|
should be aware of some limitations and requirements.</p>
|
|
<p>If you are using clustering with a firewall, you need to allow each node
|
|
the ability to send outbound messages to and receive inbound messages from
|
|
other cluster nodes. An opening in the firewall must exist for
|
|
each cluster address on each node to communicate with every cluster address
|
|
on every other node. IP packets traveling across a network can be of various
|
|
types of traffic. Clustering uses ping, which is type ICMP, and also uses
|
|
UDP and TCP. When a user configures a firewall, they can filter traffic based
|
|
on the type. For clustering to work the firewall needs to allow traffic of
|
|
ICMP, UDP and TCP. Outbound traffic can be sent on any port and inbound traffic
|
|
is received on ports 5550 and 5551.</p>
