FortiSIEM Port Usage
This chapter describes the external communication ports needed for various FortiSIEM nodes to work. The ports are broken down for:
- FortiSIEM Manager Communication
- Supervisor Communication
- Worker Communication
- Collector Communication
In release 7.2, some clear communication has been replaced by SSL communication. If an entry in the tables below has 5.3, then that entry is valid for releases 5.3 and below. If an entry in the tables below has 7.2, then that entry is valid for releases 7.2 and above.
Since there will be intercommunication between FortiSIEM nodes (Worker to Worker, Worker to Supervisor, Supervisor to Worker), Fortinet suggests not to firewall block any type of communication between internal FortiSIEM nodes. |
