Compute service node firewall requirements
==========================================
Console connections for virtual machines, whether direct or through a
proxy, are received on ports ``5900`` to ``5999``. The firewall on each
Compute service node must allow network traffic on these ports.
This procedure modifies the iptables firewall to allow incoming
connections to the Compute services.
**Configuring the service-node firewall**
#. Log in to the server that hosts the Compute service, as root.
#. Edit the ``/etc/sysconfig/iptables`` file, to add an INPUT rule that
allows TCP traffic on ports from ``5900`` to ``5999``. Make sure the new
rule appears before any INPUT rules that REJECT traffic:
.. code-block:: console
-A INPUT -p tcp -m multiport --dports 5900:5999 -j ACCEPT
#. Save the changes to the ``/etc/sysconfig/iptables`` file, and restart the
``iptables`` service to pick up the changes:
.. code-block:: console
$ service iptables restart
#. Repeat this process for each Compute service node.
