Description

Probes to Hawkeye server for node to node and mesh

10117, 25025-25050

Not modifiable.

TCP

From probes to server(hardware and software).

Mandatory for node to node and mesh testing.

Probes to Hawkeye server for Real Services

443

Modifiable with advanced configuration.

TCP

From probes to server(hardware probes only).

Mandatory for advanced probes administration and real services executions.

Probes to Hawkeye server for Continuous Services

10118 , 10119

Not modifiable

TCP

From probes to server(hardware and software).

Mandatory for Continuous Services executions.

Probe to probe management

10115,

10116

 

Not modifiable.

TCP AND UDP

Probe to Probe, bidirectional or private to public only.

10116 port is opened by first probe (if private) to second public probe for second probe to send management packets to first probe.

Mandatory for node to node and mesh testing.

UDP port is only required for tests with synchronization (network KPI, any real time traffic).

Direction is always private to public in case of mix in same pair.

Probe to Probe traffic

User defined

Modifiable from administrator console in preferences.

TCP

From Probes to server.

Default to AUTO which picks any port available on probes. Need to be enforced in Hawkeye configuration in case of FW between Probes.

When the first endpoint is private as defined in Probe Management web page, the first endpoint will open port 10116 to the second endpoint so the second endpoint can use this port for sending test results (plus other management information) back to the first probe.
