HCL Sametime® Administration Guide 12.0.1
Planning
This section describes the system requirements and server configurations needed for HCL Sametime and HCL Sametime Premium.
Planning the network topology and connectivity
This topic explains how Sametime components are connected and the default ports that are used. There are also example topologies to illustrate how Sametime can be deployed in different scenarios.
Ports used by Sametime services
Sametime services use several ports for communication. If firewalls are in use in your environment, all traffic on these ports should be permitted bidirectionally.

- Planning
  This section describes the system requirements and server configurations needed for HCL Sametime and HCL Sametime Premium.
  - Sametime versus Sametime Premium
    Depending on the Sametime product that is installed, certain Sametime features might be available. HCL Sametime provides secure real-time communication across devices, and HCL Sametime Premium expands those features to include video and file sharing.
  - Prerequistes
    Before you begin the install process, ensure that the environment includes all prerequistes and system requirements.
  - Platforms
    Docker and Kubernetes have different goals and outcomes. The decision about which platform to use depends on your end goal.
  - Meeting server FAQ
    The Meeting server routes media traffic.
  - Sametime clients
    Several client types are supported providing flexibility in how users can access chats and meetings. A single deployment can implement several client types.
  - Planning the network topology and connectivity
    This topic explains how Sametime components are connected and the default ports that are used. There are also example topologies to illustrate how Sametime can be deployed in different scenarios.
    - Planning considerations for chat
    - Considerations for Sametime Premium
      Sametime Premium deployments are supported on Docker or Kubernetes.
    - Considerations for telephony
      Integration with the Teamcall Meeting Gateway (TMG) application from iLink enables telephony services to be added to your Sametime environment. The telephony feature allows telephone access to chats and meetings.
    - Ports used by Sametime services
      Sametime services use several ports for communication. If firewalls are in use in your environment, all traffic on these ports should be permitted bidirectionally.
  - Network planning for meetings
  - Clustering and high availability
    High availability and high capacity configuration for Sametime is achieved in different ways depending on which component is being configured for HA. See the topics below to learn more about chat, meetings, and MongoDB.

Ports used by Sametime services

Sametime services use several ports for communication. If firewalls are in use in your environment, all traffic on these ports should be permitted bidirectionally.

Table 1. Ports used by Sametime services
Port Number	Description
389	Used for non-secure communications from the Sametime server to the LDAP server.
443	Used for HTTP communications over a secure connection.
636	Used for secure communications with LDAP for directory services.
1516	Used as an internal port between the community and proxy pods.
1533	Used to listen for direct TCP/IP connections from Sametime Connect clients. A direct TCP/IP connection is when a Sametime client uses a unique Sametime protocol over TCP/IP to establish a connection with community services.
1935	Used when streaming YouTube videos.
5280, 5222	Used to reach the service cluster IP for Jitsi. In Kubernetes environments, for websockets to function properly, the video pods using the node port must be able to reach the service Cluster IP for Jitsi on ports 5280 and 5222. See the Websockets fail to load after installing Sametime 11.6 or 12.0.x on Kubernetes article for more information.
8000	Used to listen for HTTP communications. All communication over this port is redirected to HTTPS port 443. Port 8000 is the default port assigned during the product installation process.
10000	Used by audio and video clients to stream media data when deploying Sametime on Docker.
19302	This UDP port is the default STUN port used by both the client and meeting server for NAT traversal.
27017	Used for communication with MongoDB.
30000	Used by audio and video clients to stream media data when deploying Sametime on Kubernetes.
