Which TCP port is necessary for both client-to-client communication and client-to-Tanium Cloud?

The necessary TCP port for both client-to-client communication and client-to-Tanium Cloud is TCP Port 17472. This port is specifically designated for traffic that occurs between Tanium clients, enabling them to communicate with one another effectively. Additionally, it facilitates the connection between Tanium clients and the Tanium Cloud, ensuring that data and commands can be exchanged seamlessly in these environments.

Understanding the roles of different TCP ports is crucial for ensuring proper network configuration and troubleshooting connectivity issues within Tanium's architecture. While other ports might serve different functionalities within the Tanium framework, Port 17472 serves this dual purpose of client interactions and connectivity to the Tanium Cloud infrastructure.
