Using firewalls with the Linux operating system

Before you install InfoPrint Manager Transform Feature, you must give LISTEN permission in the firewall for the Linux operating system.

These ports/application entries must be given "LISTEN" permission in the firewall:

  • Port 6980 for /opt/infoprint/itm/clients/fdi/fdi.
  • Ports 6984 and 6985 for /opt/infoprint/itm/hn/feps.
  • Port 6986 for /opt/infoprint/itm/clients/coord/coord.
  • Port 6988+<N> for /opt/infoprint/itm/node<N>/node.

    Where <N> is between 1 and the total number of compute nodes configured. For example, if N is 2, port for /opt/infoprint/itm/node1/node is 6989 and port for /opt/infoprint/itm/node2/node is 6990.

These applications must be allowed to make outgoing connections to the ports indicated on any machine:

  • /opt/infoprint/itm/clients/fdi/fdi to port 6984.
  • /opt/infoprint/itm/hn/feps to port 6986.
  • /opt/infoprint/itm/clients/coord/coord to ports 6984 and 6986.
  • /opt/infoprint/itm/hn/pd/pdexec to port 6984.
  • /opt/infoprint/itm/node<N>/node to port 6985.
  • /opt/infoprint/itm/node<N>/xforms/ctt_standalone/ctt_standalone to port 6988+<N>.

    Where <N> is between 1 and the total number of compute nodes configured. For example, if N is 2, port for /opt/infoprint/itm/node1/xforms/ctt_standalone is 6989 and port for /opt/infoprint/itm/node2/xforms/ctt_standalone is 6990.

    Note:
  • The total number of compute nodes equals the total number of compute nodes configured during the installation process.
