What protocol and port # does SSM agent run on?

0

HI,

I'm running SSM agent in a hybrid environment behind a firewall. I like to know what port needs to be open to allow SSM to remotely manage the agent behind the firewall.

Thank you.

Hi,

The SSM agent doesn't require any inbound ports to be opened, all communication from the agent is outbound HTTPS to the SSM and EC2 Messages endpoints in the region where your instances are registered:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/ssm-agent.html

Hope that helps.

  • It's kind of implied but you must allow inbound traffic to port 443. I was having trouble with session manager not working unless I exposed port 22. However once I blocked 22 and opened 443 it worked.

Session Manager does not require any inbound ports to support any of the features it supports. Even if you make use of the SSH tunneling feature of Session Manager (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/session-manager-getting-started-enable-ssh-connections.html), there's no need for any inbound ports to be open.

An inbound port is required to create a Systems Manager Session Manager session.
The minimum requirement seems to be port 22 inbound from the security group itself - port 22 can be happily blocked in the VPC NACL and just allowed on the Security Group from the security group to itself.
