Opening Ports

Essential port configurations for a seamless SEP installation

For a successful interaction with Starburst Enterprise (SEP), it's important to configure various connection points accurately. This includes connections from the Starburst cluster to data sources, client applications to the Starburst cluster, and potential integrations with third-party applications. This guide outlines the necessary ports to open and what to prepare before installing SEP.

Starburst Internal Communication

Depending on the setup method chosen in Establishing TLS/HTTPS, communication within Starburst can be configured over HTTP or HTTPS.

ProtocolTypical Port
HTTP8080 (customizable)
HTTPS8443 (customizable)

Starburst UI & Client Connections

Starburst features a user interface for direct interaction and also facilitates connections from client applications like DBeaver, Tableau, etc. These connections can be configured over either HTTP or HTTPS.

ProtocolTypical Port
HTTP80 or 8080 (customizable)
HTTPS443 or 8443 (customizable)

Backend Databases

As outlined in the infrastructure guide, SEP requires connectivity to backend databases such as MySQL, Oracle, or PostgreSQL. Below are their default ports, but note that your system configuration might vary.

DatabaseDefault Port
MySQL3306
Oracle1521
Postgres5432

Remember, these port numbers are defaults and can be customized based on your specific network and security configurations. Ensure all necessary ports are open and properly configured for a smooth SEP deployment and operation.
