Ports to open

To use NeoLoad with a firewall, it may prove necessary to open some ports on the network interface of the Controller, Load Generator, and Monitoring Agent. For more information, see Firewall.

Load Generators

Controller-to-Load Generator direction

Default port Protocol Configuration file
7100 or configured as explained in Add Load Generators TCP

Load Generator:

  • File <Load Generator>/conf/agent.properties

  • Key [Network]agent.server.port

Controller:

  • File <Controller>/conf/controller.properties

  • Key [Network]agent.port

Controller-to-Cloud Load Generator direction

Default port Protocol
443 or configured as explained in Add Load Generators TCP

Use the automatic discovery function Controller-to-Load Generator Agent direction

Port Protocol Configuration file
1359 UDP

Load Generator:

  • File <Load Generator>/conf/agent.properties

  • Key [Network]multicast.port

Controller:

  • File <Controller>/conf/controller.properties

  • Key [Network]agent.multicast.port

Monitoring Agents

Controller-to-Monitoring Agent direction

Port Protocol Configuration file
7200 TCP

Monitoring Agent:

  • File <Monitoring Agent>/conf/monitoringAgent.properties

  • Key [Network]monitor.agent.server.port

Controller:

  • File <Controller>/conf/controller.properties

  • Key [Network]monitor.agent.port

Use the automatic discover function Controller-to-Monitoring Agent direction

Port Protocol Configuration file
1358 UDP

Monitoring Agent:

  • File <Monitoring Agent>/conf/monitoringAgent.properties

  • Key [Network]multicast.port

Controller:

File <Controller>/conf/controller.properties

Key [Network]monitor.agent.multicast.port

Controller

Acknowledge incoming Agents - (UDP 1369 and UDP 1358)-t0-Controller direction

Port Protocol Configuration file
4569 TCP

Controller:

File <Controller>/conf/controller.properties

Key [Network]controller.server.port

Note: To use the automatic discovery function of the Load Generators and Monitoring Agents, it is necessary to open the suitable ports on the hosting machines and for the Controller. If the ports are not opened, the Load Generators and the Monitoring Agents must be added manually, as described in Manage the Load Generator Agent and Manage the Monitoring Agent.

Ports to open for applications hosted on Cloud services

The information about which ports to open for applications hosted on Cloud services strongly depends on the Service Providers used. For more information, refer to your Service Provider Documentation or Support.
