How do I Block Access to the Platform9 Management Plane?

Problem

For testing purposes, how do I block access to the Platform9 Management Plane?

Environment

• Platform9 - All Versions

• Comms

Answer

Warning

Attention: The following will cause your Platform9 nodes to show as "Disconnected" in the UI, and, while resources/workloads will continue to be running, management of the node and/or those same workloads, etc. may not be possible.

The pf9-comms component on each host/node communicates with the Platform9 Management Plane FQDN via TCP/443. Access may need to be blocked to the multiple IPs which the FQDN resolves to (which can be found via nslookup or dig , for example).

Platform9 only uses TCP/443 and no other ports need to be blocked.
