What ports do Remote Ethernet Devices (REDs) use?

Remote Ethernet Devices (REDs) utilize TCP port 3400 and UDP port 3410 for their communication needs. This is critical for establishing secure and efficient connections between the RED and the Sophos Firewall.

The TCP port 3400 serves as the primary transmission channel for the control plane, ensuring reliable communication. This control plane manages the configuration and operational commands to and from the RED. Meanwhile, UDP port 3410 is used for the data plane, allowing for quick and efficient transmission of data packets.

These specific ports are designated to facilitate the RED's unique operation, enabling them to connect to the firewall for management and data services uniformly and securely. Using the correct ports ensures that the RED operates within the intended parameters, leading to optimal performance and security in network environments.
