SteelHead Ports
  
SteelHead Ports
This appendix provides a reference to ports used by the system. It includes the following sections:
• SteelFusion Ports
• Default Ports
• Commonly Excluded Ports
• Interactive Ports Forwarded by the SteelHead
• Secure Ports Forwarded by the SteelHead
SteelFusion Ports
The following table summarizes SteelFusion default ports with the port label SteelFusion.
 
Default Ports
Description
7950
Data requests for data blocks absent in Edge appliance from the data center
7951
New data created at the Edge to the data center
7952
Prefetch data for which SteelFusion has highest confidence (for example, file read ahead)
7953
Prefetch data for which SteelFusion has medium confidence (for example, boot)
7954
Prefetch data for which SteelFusion has lowest confidence (for example, prepopulation)
7970
Management information exchange between Edge and Core appliances
Default Ports
The following table summarizes SteelHead default ports with the port label RBT-Proto.
 
Default Ports
Description

RiOS data store synchronization port
7800
In-path port for appliance-to-appliance connections
7801
Network Address Translation (NAT) port
7810

SteelHead TLS optimization for SSL simplification.
Because optimization between SteelHeads typically takes place over a secure WAN, it is not necessary to configure company firewalls to support SteelHead-specific ports. If there are one or more firewalls between two SteelHeads, ports 7800 and 7810, must be passed through firewall devices located between the pair of SteelHeads. Also, SYN and SYN/ACK packets with the TCP option 76 must be passed through firewalls for automatic discovery to function properly. For the SCC, port 22 must be passed through for the firewall to function properly.
Commonly Excluded Ports
This section summarizes the ports that are commonly excluded from optimization in the SteelHead.
If you have multiple ports that you want to exclude, create a port label and list the ports.

Interactive Ports Forwarded by the SteelHead
A default in-path rule with the port label Interactive is automatically created in your system. This in-path rule automatically passes through traffic on interactive ports (for example, Telnet, TCP ECHO, remote logging, and shell).
If you do not want to automatically forward these ports, simply delete the Interactive rule in the Management Console.
The following table lists the interactive ports that are automatically forwarded by the SteelHead.

Secure Ports Forwarded by the SteelHead
A default in-path rule with the port label Secure is automatically created in your system. This in-path rule automatically passes through traffic on commonly secure ports (for example, ssh, https, and smtps).
If you do not want to automatically forward these ports, simply delete the Secure rule in the Management Console.
The following table lists the common secure ports that are automatically forwarded by the SteelHead.
