To open a specified port on Tencent Cloud Lighthouse, you typically follow these steps:
- Access the Management Console: Log in to the Tencent Cloud Management Console.
- Navigate to Lighthouse: Go to the Lighthouse service section.
- Select the Instance: Choose the Lighthouse instance for which you want to open a port.
- Security Groups: Under the "Network & Security" section, find the "Security Groups" option. Security groups act as virtual firewalls to control inbound and outbound traffic for your instances.
- Edit Rules: Click on "Edit Rules" or "Inbound Rules" to modify the security group settings.
- Add Rule: Add a new rule to open the specified port. You will need to specify the protocol (e.g., TCP, UDP), the port range, and the source IP address or range that is allowed to access this port.
- Save Changes: After setting up the rule, save your changes.
Example: If you want to open port 80 (HTTP) for a web server running on your Lighthouse instance, you would add an inbound rule that allows TCP traffic on port 80 from any IP address (or a specific IP range if desired).
For more detailed instructions or if you encounter any issues, you can refer to the official Tencent Cloud documentation or contact their support team. Additionally, ensure that opening the port aligns with your security policies and requirements.
