Forcepoint FlexEdge Secure SD-WAN Engine ports
The most important default ports used in communications to and from Secure SD-WAN Engines and Master Engines are presented in the following illustrations.
See the table for a complete list of default ports for the engines.
Note: Master Engines use the same default ports as clustered Secure SD-WAN Engines. Virtual Engines do not communicate directly with other system components.
This table lists the default ports for Secure SD-WAN Engines and Master Engines. Many of these ports can be changed. The names of corresponding default Service elements are also included for your reference.
