IP Port Considerations

The HCC2 uses IP ports for both internal operation, and also exposes others externally.

When designing an OEM application the use of IP ports should be avoided where possible, and if not, the selection of the post number should not clash with those in use by the HCC2 device. These port numbers and their usage are identified in the sections below.

Private subnet

IO board Fixed IP facing the CPU board: 172.17.1.1

CPU board Fixed IP facing the IO board: 172.17.1.2 on eno3

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Network interface names: eno1, eno2, eno3, usb0, cdc-wdm1 external for wwan0, wlp1s0

Other services

Port Number Owner Connector Comment Exposed Externally (Inbound) ETH 1 & 2 ETH3 Cell Wifi USB gadget ICMP
n/a Ping Host OS Allow inbound and outbound ping (Yes) Z Z X X Y

Port numbers

Routing rules - need all 172.17.1.1 traffic routed to ETH3 only. (make new network bridge for iobmgr only). Need to block 172.17.1.1 on edgenet.

Owner reflects the application that binds to the port (owns it). Connector reflects applications that connect to this port (do not own it).

X - Closed by default (configurable)

Y - Always open

Z - Open by default (configurable)

blank - Always closed

NAT (Network Address Translation)

Listed interfaces are sources to forward from. The comments will contain the interfaces to forward to. The supported interfaces shall provide NAT service from their primary outward facing IP to the IP of the IO board (172.17.1.1) on eno3.
