Required outbound connectivity for hosts overview

The number and type of requirements depend on the type of hosts that you are adding.

The type of location that you create dictates the type of operating systems that can run on your hosts. If your location is RHCOS enabled, then you can attach hosts that are running either RHEL and RHCOS. If your location isn't RHCOS enabled, then you can attach only hosts that are running RHEL. You can check whether your location is RHCOS enabled. For more information about operating system support, see Planning your operating system.

You can verify your host setup with the satellite-host-check script. For more information, see Checking your host setup.
