Network requirements

Network requirements for Slide Boxes

The following outbound connections are required for the Slide Box to communicate with the Slide Cloud. If any of these connections are blocked, the device may not work properly or at all:

Hostname Network Ports Protocols Description
cloud.slide.tech 159.89.241.157 443 tcp Slide Cloud
logs.slide.tech 161.35.250.188 443 tcp Log server for diagnostics
update.slide.tech 138.197.50.39 443 tcp Software Updates
* 64.21.186.32/27 443 tcp,udp Slide Cloud backup servers and gateways
* 67.196.160.128/27 443 tcp,udp Slide Cloud backup servers and gateways

Network requirements for Slide Agents

Each Slide Agent must allow outbound connections to the following addresses and ports. The Slide Agent communicates with the Slide Box and the Slide Cloud:

Hostname Network Ports Protocols Description
cloud.slide.tech 159.89.241.157 443 tcp Slide Cloud
logs.slide.tech 161.35.250.188 443 tcp Log server for diagnostics
update.slide.tech 138.197.50.39 443 tcp Software updates

In addition to the above requirements, the Slide Agent also connects to its associated Slide Box on port 443/tcp.

CSV Download

You may also download the network requirements as a CSV file. Each row in the file represents a required rule for outbound connections that need to be allow-listed for the Slide Box or Slide Agent to work.

The columns of the CSV are:

  • Category: Defines whether the requirement applies to the Slide Box (box) or the Slide Agent (agent)
  • Hostname: The hostname or IP address that needs to be allow-listed (may be * if multiple hostnames apply), e.g cloud.slide.tech or *
  • Network: The IP address or network (in CIDR notation) that needs to be allow-listed, e.g. 138.197.50.39 or 67.196.160.128/27
  • Ports: Comma-separated list of ports that need to be allow-listed, e.g. 443 or 443,80
  • Protocols: Comma-separated list of protocols that need to be allow-listed, e.g. tcp or tcp,udp
  • Description: A brief description of the requirement, e.g. Slide Cloud or Software Updates

Please note that this list may change in the future. We will update this list as needed, and communicate any significant changes to our partners.
