Default Firewall Rules

StarlingX applies default firewall rules on the OAM network. The default rules are recommended for most applications.

Traffic is permitted for the following protocols and ports to allow access for platform services. By default, all other traffic is blocked.

You can view the configured firewall rules with the following command:

Note

Custom rules may be added for other requirements. For more information, see StarlingX Security: Firewall Options.

Note

UDP ports 2222 and 2223 are used by the service manager for state synchronization and heart beating between the controllers. All messages are authenticated with a SHA512 HMAC. Only packets originating from the peer controller are permitted; all other packets are dropped.
