Opening a port

  1. Ensure the salt-master can be brought up with vagrant locally:

    vagrant up salt-master

  2. vagrant ssh into salt-master and confirm the service in question is running and listening on the desired port:

    vagrant ssh salt-master
sudo netstat -tlnp | grep 9001

    Should show something like:

    $ tcp    0   0 0.0.0.0:9001      0.0.0.0:*        LISTEN   621968/nginx: maste

  3. Check the firewall to confirm the desired port is closed

    sudo iptables -L -xvn

    Should show something like:

    $ 86131 5167860 ACCEPT   tcp -- *   *    192.168.50.0/24   0.0.0.0/0      state NEW tcp dpts:9000

  4. In the local repository, edit the firewall settings by navigating to pillar/base/firewall and editing the salt.sls file to include the desired port:

    vim pillar/base/firewall/salt.sls

  5. On the salt-master run highstate to validate your changes and check the firewall to verify those changes:

    vagrant ssh salt-master
sudo salt-call state.highstate

    sudo iptables -L -xvn

    Should show something like:

     86131 5167860 ACCEPT  tcp -- * *  192.168.50.0/24 0.0.0.0/0 state NEW tcp dpts:9000:9001
