-Simplyblock requires a number of TCP and UDP ports to be opened from certain networks. Following is a list of all
-ports (TCP and UDP) required for operation as a storage node.
-
-!!! note
- The NVMf port range is used twice. It is TCP for NVMe-oF/TCP and UDP for NVMe-oF/RDMA.
+Simplyblock requires a number of TCP and UDP ports to be reachable from the control and the storage network. The
+following table lists every port required for operation as a storage node.
{% include 'network-port-table-sn.md' %}
-The following script opens those ports with `iptables`.
+The following script opens those ports with `iptables`. No source address is enforced by it. Where a tighter rule
