Network Communications External to the Cluster¶
The following details are all based on the default settings. These can vary depending on the application setup and network design (such as NAT) of the solution, so may need adjustment accordingly. Where a dependant is noted, this is fully dependant on the configuration with no default.
These communications are all related to communications with devices external to the cluster.
Outbound Communications to Devices from the Application/Unified nodes:
