However, if we only allow port 1024-65535 for outbound traffic on the NACL of the subnets where EFS locates, we will get timeout when we try to mount the EFS from an EC2 instances from a different subnet (same AZ). Ports chosen automatically by the networking stack are known as ephemeral ports.Īccording to RFC 6056, the ephemeral port range should be 1024-65535. For client side, no fixed port is defined and a port is chosen automatically by the client. Services are usually located at fixed, “well-known” ports, for example, HTTP services usually listen on port 80 and HTTPS services usually listen on port 443. Typically, when a client communicate with service on a server, each transport communication (or network socket) is identified by the five-tuple(or socket address): 4 However, if we configure NACL on the subnets of EFS, we not only need to allow the inbound traffic from the clients to the port 2049(NFS port), but we also need to consider the outbound traffic to the client from EFS back to the clients.įor NACL, we need to know what the port range the NFS client will use for communication with NFS server, or we will get timeout if the NACL does not allow the traffic from EFS to the clients. When using Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS), which support NFS, on the EFS side, it requires the configuration of security groups and the security groups should allow inbound access for the TCP protocol on the NFS port from the clients (EC2 instances). a stateless firewall at the subnet level. ![]()
