Define firewall rules that control the traffic for your instance.

Add rules to allow specific traffic to reach your instance as needed. BlueCat recommends the following minimum set of firewall rules for Address Manager and BlueCat DNS for AWS:
BAM BDDS
  • HTTP or HTTPS
  • SSH
  • Custom TCP Rule with port number 10045 for notifications
  • SSH
  • Custom TCP Rule with port number 123 for NTP (inbound only) and 161 for SNMP (inbound only)
  • Custom TCP Rule with port number 10042 for secure management and connectivity between DNS/DHCP Servers and Address Manager
  • Custom TCP Rule with port number 53 for DNS

To define security group settings:

  1. From the Assign a security group section, select Create a new security group.
    Note: If you already have defined a security group with these rules, you can choose the Select an existing security group option and select the security group from the list.
  2. Enter a name for the security group that you are creating in the Security group name field.
  3. Enter a descriptive name for the security group that you are creating in the Description field.
  4. Click Add Rule.
  5. Click the drop-down menu and select the rules to add.
