Installing and configuring Corosync

Let's get down to business now. You must configure IPtables to allow cluster communication traffic among cluster nodes. You must add an iptables rule to allow UDP traffic on 5404 and 5405, and another rule to allow multicast traffic communication. In this screenshot, you can see the commands to use for the iptables configuration:

Note

The default Corosync cluster communication ports are 5404 and 5405, and the UDP protocol is used. The ports are configured in the /etc/corosync/corosync.conf configuration file. If you want to change the default Corosync communication ports, make sure you change iptables accordingly.

Once you've run the commands, save the iptables configuration. In the following screenshot, you can see the command used to save the iptables configuration:

Note

You must add the IPTables rules and save the IPTables configuration on all cluster nodes. Then continue to install Corosync.
