Connection to the controller

L0 Member

Greetings
Please could you help me with official documentation that indicates the priorities of the ports of the ION 1200, 3200 and 9200 (controller, Lan, WAN, etc.) for the connection to the Strata cloud Manager controller. I need it to standardize the permissions in the firewall and request it from the security team.

See the admin guide under "Configure Device Initiated Connections for Circuits":
"You can prioritize ION device interfaces use for device initiated connections in the order of first controller port interface, LAN port, any interface which does not have a label attached, but has an IP address, and then interfaces with circuit labels attached. The order of preference is based on the cost of a circuit. A circuit with a higher cost has a lower preference for device to controller connections."

The cost is from the WAN circuit perspective.

Here is a bit different summary from the EDU-238 course (take this course if you haven't yet):
1.Controller port
2.Used-for LAN interface
3.Unlabeled interface
4.Labeled WAN interfaces (sorted as per cost)

Thank you very much, that was what I was looking for
