The port for this is configurable based on splunkd of your deployment server but would default to 8089.</P> <P>See also: <A href="http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/latest/Deploy/Aboutdeploymentserver" rel="nofollow">http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/latest/Deploy/Aboutdeploymentserver</A></P> <P>With respect to License slaves I believe they work similar to deployment clients (contacting License master via splunkd 8089 by default).</P> <P>See also: <A href="http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/latest/Admin/Configurealicenseslave" rel="nofollow">http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/latest/Admin/Configurealicenseslave</A></P> Thu, 14 Apr 2011 03:08:36 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Deployment-server-firewall-rules/m-p/81119#M2896 hazekamp 2011-04-14T03:08:36Z
