4.2 Network Requirements

January 26th, 2026

BEAR has different network requirements which depend on whether it is installed on a single host or spread over multiple hosts.

If AC Firewall is running on ACHE, then BEAR will automatically reconfigure the open ports on installation, uninstallation, and configuration updates that affect assigned ports.
