The software described in this documentation is either no longer supported or is in extended support.
Oracle recommends that you upgrade to a current supported release.
You must configure the Spacewalk server with a fully-qualified
domain name (FQDN). Spacewalk does not consider
.local and .localdomain
to be valid domain names. Clients must be able to resolve the
FQDN in DNS (forward and reverse lookups). If these conditions
are not met, PXE booting does not work and clients do not
register with the Spacewalk server.
The following table shows the required network ports depending on the configuration of the Spacewalk server.
Port and Protocol | Purpose |
|---|---|
69/udp | tftp for PXE provisioning support |
80/tcp | Spacewalk web access |
443/tcp | Spacewalk web access |
5222/tcp | Spacewalk client push support |
5269/tcp | Spacewalk proxy push support |
If the Spacewalk server needs to connect though a proxy, you can configure the proxy in the following places:
The
/etc/rhn/rhn.conffile.The Spacewalk web interface.
Go to Overview, then Configure Spacewalk, and then General.
