Ports to open
To use NeoLoad with a firewall, it may prove necessary to open some ports on the network interface of the Controller, Load Generator, and Monitoring Agent. See Use a firewall between the Controller and a Load Generator and Use a firewall between the Controller and a Monitoring Agent.
Load Generators
- Controller-to-Load Generator direction
Default port
Protocol
Configuration file 7100 or configured as explained in Add Load Generators
TCP
Load Generator:
- File <Load Generator>/conf/agent.properties
- Key [Network]agent.server.port
Controller:
- File <Controller>/conf/controller.properties
- Key [Network]agent.port
- Controller-to-Cloud Load Generator direction
Default port
Protocol
443 or configured as explained in Add Load Generators
TCP
- To use the automatic discovery function Controller-to-Load Generator Agent direction
Port
Protocol
Configuration file 1359
UDP
Load Generator:
- File <Load Generator>/conf/agent.properties
- Key [Network]multicast.port
Controller:
- File <Controller>/conf/controller.properties
- Key [Network]agent.multicast.port
Monitoring Agents
- Controller-to-Monitoring Agent direction
Port
Protocol
Configuration file 7200
TCP
Monitoring Agent:
- File <Monitoring Agent>/conf/monitoringAgent.properties
- Key [Network]monitor.agent.server.port
Controller:
- File <Controller>/conf/controller.properties
- Key [Network]monitor.agent.port
- To use the automatic discovery function Controller-to-Monitoring Agent direction
Port
Protocol
Configuration file 1358
UDP
Monitoring Agent:
- File <Monitoring Agent>/conf/monitoringAgent.properties
- Key [Network]multicast.port
Controller:
- File <Controller>/conf/controller.properties
- Key [Network]monitor.agent.multicast.port
Controller
- To acknowledge incoming Agents-(UDP 1369 and UDP 1358)-to-Controller direction
Port
Protocol
Configuration file 4569
TCP
Controller:
- File <Controller>/conf/controller.properties
- Key [Network]controller.server.port
To use the automatic discovery function of the Load Generators and Monitoring Agents, it is necessary to open the suitable ports on the hosting machines and for the Controller. If the ports are not opened, the Load Generators and the Monitoring Agents must be added manually, as described in Manage the Load Generator Agent and Manage the Monitoring Agent.
Ports to open for applications hosted on Cloud services
The information about which ports to open for applications hosted on Cloud services strongly depends on the Service Providers used. For more information, refer to your Service Provider Documentation or Support.
