Port and Protocol Dependencies
To ensure that the SteelCentral products can communicate correctly, you must open up certain ports across any existing firewalls residing between the various SteelCentral components including NetProfiler, Flow Gateway, NetShark, NetShark on AppResponse, NetExpress, routers, switches, and other devices. The figures in this section show which ports and protocols are necessary for different deployment scenarios. The figures also show external port dependencies for various integrations. For more details about external integrations, see
Additional SteelCentral Integration.
This section describes the following dependencies:
NetShark and Packet Analyzer Port Dependencies
Figure: Packet Analyzer and NetShark Dependencies shows which ports and protocols you must have open for communications within a Packet Analyzer and a NetShark deployment. External connections are optional, depending on which integrations you use.

SteelCentral Appliance Enterprise Solution Port Dependencies
Figure: Enterprise Solution Port Dependencies shows which ports and protocols you must have for communications within an Enterprise NetProfiler, Flow Gateway, and NetShark deployment. Many external connections are optional, depending upon which integrations you use. You must have all components that compose the Enterprise NetProfiler on the same network subnet, using 1-Gb ports and connected to the same switch. If you include a dedicated dispatcher in the deployment, the switch it is connected to must have two available 1-Gb ports and a support channel bonding to allow for the higher bandwidth required.
