How does the 443 port works

Question

Do users need to open port 443 one way from LoadGenerator/Agent to MI Listener or from two demensional i,e from
LoadGenerator/Agent to MI Listener and MI Listener to LoadGenerator/Agent


Ex:
One Direction
LoadGenerator/Agent ----------> MI Listener
OR
BI Directional
LoadGenerator/Agent <----------> MI Listener

Answer

Users should open port bidirectional, but regarding to open which port, it is update to whether you want to use MI listener… Please refer to below detail explanation:
1. If you want to use MI listener, port 443 should be opened : LoadGenerator/Agent ----------> MI Listener.

 And also 50500 should be opened Controller------->MI listener, because when the Controller connects to the MI Listener, it communicates to the MI Listener through port 50500
2. If you don't want to use MI listener, please open 54345 on LG and controller bidirectional.
