It depends what you all have configured - as you saying you "only" have a search head connection to index server I reckon, you open 8089.

Here a little list which may help:

Application  Port
-----------  ----
Splunk UI           8000
Distributed Search  8089
Forwarder/Receiver  9997

Further, you may have a look on your system what ports you listening to: netstat -a
