Preview: under engineering review. This documentation is a working draft prepared from the security packet and reference architecture. Items marked to confirm are placeholders for REAP engineering to verify before publication. Not indexed by search engines.

Network requirements

Flows between devices, the connector cluster, your systems and the REAP platform. Direction is always stated from the initiator.

Reading this table Values marked Typical default are the standard ports for the protocol and apply unless your environment differs; values marked to confirm are REAP-specific and must be taken from the security packet.

Principles

  • No inbound firewall rule to your network is required: connectors open an outbound TLS tunnel, and once it is established the platform reaches devices only through the connector confirm for customer-hosted models.
  • Device credentials never leave your network unencrypted; brokered credentials are obtained per session.
  • All flows are encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2 or higher); legacy UDP syslog can be replaced by TLS syslog where devices support it.
Engineering to confirm
  • Platform endpoints (hostnames/IPs) per region for allow-listing
  • Whether mTLS is used connector ↔ platform
  • gNMI (opens in a new tab) dial-in vs dial-out default
  • Flow-record collector port and the flow versions accepted (NetFlow v5/v9, IPFIX, sFlow)
  • PAM connectivity specifics per broker
