<a name="config-cond-cf-cg-firewall"></a>

You can enable or disable the firewall. By default, the firewall is enabled.

The installer configures the ports on your firewall that must be open for incoming and outgoing traffic to and from each node. You can open more ports if required for any reason.

**To open ports on the firewall**

1. On the AWS Elemental Conductor File node, click **Nodes** in the main menu. 

1. On the **Nodes** screen, choose **Edit** (wrench icon) beside the primary Conductor node.

1. On the **Node Configuration** screen, choose **Firewall**.

1. Choose **Firewall On**. A list of ports appears. 

1. In the list of ports, add or delete ports as desired.

1. If you have a secondary Conductor node, switch to the web interface for that node and repeat these steps.
