Distributed Search times out when trying to add a peer

[yazapage]

I get the following error after I add a search peer - times out. The port is open in our firewall & sending to an internal search head.

ERROR KeyManagerLocalhost - Error while sending public key to search peer https://172.18.4
8.146:4351: Connect timed out.

Is there something other than port 4351 I need to set up somewhere? I can add a search peer within the firewall wtih no issues.

Thanks - I believe we only have inbound traffic allowed. I will check with my firwall team to confirm

I don't know what you mean when you say "sending to an internal search head", but that port is the port on the search peer/indexer, and as such, the firewall must allow TCP connections outbound from the search head to that port on the indexer. A timeout suggests that the firewall in fact is not allowing the required traffic.
