Each communication channel is documented. For each communication channel, the table includes:
The symbolic IP Addresses used by the communicating parties. These addresses must be allowed over any communication path between the entities.
The Direction in which the communication is initiated. This may be important for your particular site policies. For a given CC-SG role, the path between the corresponding communicating parties must be available and for any alternate re-route paths that might be used in the case of a network outage.
The Port Number and Protocol used by CC-SG.
Whether the port is Configurable, which means the Admin Client or Diagnostic Console provides a field where you can change the port number to a different value from the default listed if there are conflicts with other applications on the network or for security reasons.
Details about the method of communication, the message that is passed via the communication channel, or its encryption.
