Jenkins Slave port number for firewall

Ivan picture Ivan · Jul 4, 2013 · Viewed 101.7k times · Source

We use Jenkins 1.504 on Windows.

We need to have Master and Slave in different sub-networks with firewall in between.
We can't have ANY to ANY port firewall rules, we must specify exact port numbers.

I know the port Master is listening on.

I also see that Slave opens connection to the Master from the arbitrary port dynamically assigned every run, and port on the Master side is also arbitrary.
I can fix Master's port by specifying it in Manage Jenkins > Configure Global Security > TCP port for JNLP slave agents).

How to fix Slave port?


UPDATE: Found Connection Mechanism described here: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Jenkins+CLI#JenkinsCLI-Connectionmechanism

I think it might work for us, but still would be better to have fixed-2-fixed ports connection.

We had a similar situation, but in our case Infosec agreed to allow any to 1, so we didnt had to fix the slave port, rather fixing the master to high level JNLP port 49187 worked ("Configure Global Security" -> "TCP port for JNLP slave agents").

TCP
49187 - Fixed jnlp port
8080 - jenkins http port

Other ports needed to launch slave as a windows service

TCP
135 
139 
445

UDP
137
138
