General Network and Connectivity Requirements
System Installation, Configuration, and Management / Installation and Initial Configuration Requirements / General Network and Connectivity Requirements

This topic covers the general network and connectivity requirements for the Delphix Engine, including connection requirements, port allocation, and firewall and Intrusion Detection System (IDS) considerations. For platform-specific network and connectivity requirements, see the relevant topics under the Requirements section for each platform.

TCP/UDP32768 - 65535

Required for NFS mountd and status services from target environment only if the firewall between Delphix and the target environment does not dynamically open ports.

Note: If no firewall exists between Delphix and the target environment, or the target environment dynamically opens ports, this port range is not explicitly required.

Firewalls and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)

Production databases on source environments (for dSources) are often separated from the non-production environment by firewalls. Firewalls can add milliseconds to the latency between servers. Accordingly, for best performance, there should be no firewalls between the Delphix Engine and the virtual database (VDB) target environments. If the Delphix Engine is separated from a source environment by a firewall, the firewall must be configured to permit network connections between the Delphix Engine and the source environments for the application protocols (ports) listed above.

Intrusion detection systems (IDSs) should also be made permissive to the Delphix Engine deployment. IDSs should be made aware of the anticipated high volumes of data transfer between dSources and the Delphix Engine.
