Connectivity requirements
The communicating device on which you install the FortiEDR Collector must meet the following connectivity requirements:
- Connectivity to a Local Area Network (for wired users) or a Wireless Network (for wireless users). If there is no connectivity, consult your IT support person.
- Connectivity to the FortiEDR Core and the FortiEDR Aggregator. You can check this by browsing to the Core’s IP address and the Aggregator’s IP address. For problems connecting, see Troubleshooting.
- Up to 5 Mbps of additional network workload for each 1,000 Collectors.
- Connectivity to the following ports:
- 559/555—Used by FortiEDR Core with/without SSL
- 8081—Used by FortiEDR Aggregator
- 443—For Browser connection to the FortiEDR Central Manager
Make sure these ports are not blocked by your firewall product (if one is deployed). As a security best practice, set up a narrow opening for these ports in the firewall rules. For example: - Open the TCP outbound port 555 only to the Core IP address.
- Open the TCP outbound port 8081 only to the Aggregator IP address.
