Firewall rules for iSCSI volumes access

For iSCSI access, NetApp Volumes uses specific network ports to enable communication between initiators (clients) and targets (storage volumes). For communication between Google Compute Engine and NetApp Volumes, these ports aren't blocked by default. If you use a firewall, you must enable access to the following ports for the full NetApp Volume PSA CIDR or the individual volume IP addresses:

3260 TCP iSCSI target port

The IP addresses for NetApp Volumes are automatically assigned from the CIDR range you assigned to the service during network peering. For more information, see Choose a CIDR .
