# Configuring nodes for connectivity
<a name="config-conductor-live-network"></a>

This section describe how to configure the node so that it can communicate with Conductor Live, and with upstream systems and downstream systems.

**Note**  
If your deployment involves several Conductor Live clusters, we strongly recommend that you set up each cluster in its own network.
