ClustrixDB requires a number of ports to allow internode communication. Depending on your specific deployment platform, you can:
- Open your security to allow all communication between nodes (recommended)
- Open the specific ports required for your cluster.
Ports required by ClustrixDB
This page summarizes the list of ports used by ClustrixDB. If using network security such as firewalls or security groups, the following network traffic must be allowed.
Internal Access Between ClustrixDB Nodes
These network ports are required for communication between ClustrixDB nodes. They must each be accessible by other nodes within the cluster.
| Protocol | Port | Use | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| TCP | 22 | SSH | Administration and upgrade |
| TCP, UDP | 2048 | Control Port | ClustrixDB specialized administrative tool |
| TCP, UDP | 2424 | Nanny Port | nanny - ClustrixDB process manager |
| TCP | 3306 | SQL | Database communication |
| TCP | 7888 | clxdbi | Database interface for ClustrixGUI |
| TCP, UDP | 24378 - 24410 | Multiport | ClustrixDB internode communication |
External Access
These network ports are used to access ClustrixDB externally from your applications and for cluster administration.
| Protocol | Port | Use | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| TCP | 22 | SSH | Remote management and cluster access |
| TCP | 8080* | HTTP | ClustrixGUI |
| TCP | 3306 | SQL | Database access |
| TCP | 3581 | Health Check | Heartbeat monitor for cluster |
*For root installation, ClustrixGUI uses port 80.
If you are using a firewall (like iptables) between the nodes, please open the specific ports.
Multiport
The multiport feature allows internode communication to and from any core of a cluster. It can improve performance under heavy load.
Starting at port 24379, (for both TCP and UDP), open the same number of ports as there are cores or hyper-threads licensed for a node. The maximum number of licensed cores per node is 32, hence the suggested maximum range of 24379 - 24410.
ClustrixDB does not support mixed-mode usage of multiport. That is, all nodes must uniformly have multiport enabled (default) or disabled, or the nodes will be unable to form a cluster.
See Modifying Startup Configuration Options for instructions on how to disable multiport, if necessary.
