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 Use a firewall between the Controller and a Load Generator and Use a firewall between the Controller and a Monitoring Agent.

Information: 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.
