<h1 class="topictitle1">Considerations for using clusters with firewalls</h1>
<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>
