Splunk Forwarder port 9997 through firewall - bi-directional???

I need to submit firewall rules for our Splunk (Linux) Forwarders to connect to port 9997 on the indexers. Does this link need to be bi-directional?

Thanks,

Bill

No, it does not. You only need to allow traffic from the forwarders to the indexers (as long as your firewall is stateful that is).
