Firewall Requirements

Several components in the Stellar Cyber product require certain ports and domains be accessible through your firewall. Use the legend and tables below to understand which are appropriate for your environment.

Also see: Log Parser Ports .

Legend

  • CM: Configuration Manager*

  • DA: Data Analyzer*

  • DL: Data Lake*

  • DP: Data Processor

  • LAS: Linux Server (Agent) Sensor

  • MS: Modular Sensor

  • WAS: Windows Server (Agent) Sensor

*Although these are part of the DP, they have unique IP addresses so are listed independently in the table below.

Communicating with the CM.

The dn-<org>.stellarcyber.cloud port is used when fast path communications between sensors and the CM are enabled. This happens automatically when either a Sensor CLI session is initiated from the user interface or a response is configured on the sensor.

Connector/Parser-specific

In addition to the general requirements above, review the following for your specific connector and parser choices:

  • For any connector, you must also allow access between the sensor (or DP if applicable) and the API hosts/URLs you specify during configuration.

  • In most cases, connector communication is over port TCP 443. Connectors with unique requirements are shown below.

  • For connectors running on the DP, configure the firewall with the DA IP address for Collect functions and the DL IP address for the Respond functions.

  • For the ports to open for sensors receiving logs from devices on your network see Log Parser Ports Also, refer to Using the Port Relay Feature to Minimize Open Ports for information on relaying traffic sent to the generic syslog port to its appropriate vendor-specific parser.
