Port availability – XClarity Orchestrator

Lenovo XClarity Orchestrator requires certain ports to be open to facilitate communication. If the required ports are blocked or used by another process, some XClarity Orchestrator functions might not perform correctly.

If XClarity Orchestrator and all managed resources are behind a firewall, and you intend to access those resources from a browser that is outside of the firewall, ensure that the required ports are open. XClarity Orchestrator listens on and responds through the ports that are listed in the following table.

Note

XClarity Orchestrator is a RESTful application that communicates securely over TCP on port 443.
Inbound traffic flows from managed resources and external systems to XClarity Orchestrator, so ports must be open on the XClarity Orchestrator appliance. Outbound traffic flows from XClarity Orchestrator to managed resources.
XClarity Orchestrator can be optionally configured to make outbound connections to external services, such as LDAP, SMTP, or syslog. These connections might require additional ports that are generally user configurable and not included in this list. These connections might also require access to a domain name service (DNS) server on TCP or UDP port 53 to resolve external server names.

Communication	XClarity Orchestrator appliance	External authentication servers	Event forwarding services	Lenovo services (including Call Home)
Outbound (ports open on external systems)	DNS – TCP/UDP on port 53	LDAP– TCP on port 389¹	Email server (SMTP) – UDP on port 25¹ REST Web Service (HTTP) – UPD on port 80¹ Splunk – UDP on port 8088¹¹, 8089¹ Syslog – UDP on port 514¹	HTTPS (Call Home) – TCP on port 443
Inbound (ports open on XClarity Orchestrator appliance)	HTTPS – TCP on port 443	Not applicable	Not applicable	Not applicable

This is the default port. You can configure this port from the XClarity Orchestrator user interface.
