Code42 platform hardware and software requirements

Overview

This article outlines the hardware and software requirements for components of your Code42 cloud environment.

Code42 console requirements

End user application requirements

The system specifications listed below are the minimum requirements needed to successfully install the Code42 app. Devices on unsupported operating systems may be unable to upgrade to the most recent Code42 app version.

These system requirements are the minimum requirements to install the Code42 app. We recommend using more powerful hardware for the best performance.
The Code42 app is supported on Macs with the Apple M1 chip, but is not supported on other devices running ARM processors, which includes most phones and tablets.
If your backup is unusually large (more than 1 TB or 1 million files), you must configure the Code42 app to use more RAM than the minimum requirement.
The Code42 app requires an Internet connection for almost all activity, including signing in, backing up, restoring, and changing most settings.
The Code42 app requires a graphical user interface (GUI) for use on all operating systems. The app's desktop UI typically requires a screen area at least 960 pixels wide by 780 pixels high. Some systems may be able to display it as small as 900 pixels by 680 pixels.

Following are the minimum requirements for devices running the Code42 app. However, depending on usage, the Code42 app may need more than the listed minimums to operate effectively.

Code42 app ports

List of ports that require outbound traffic to Code42. You must have both port 443 and 4287 open for use by Code42 apps.

Port	Protocol	Source	Destination	Description
443	HTTPS	Code42 endpoint agents	Code42 cloud	Communication for File Metadata Collection and deployment policy information
	HTTPS	Web Browsers	Code42 cloud	Web restore (both zip file and device) and user activity profiles
	TLS	Code42 endpoint agents	Code42 cloud	Communication from device to the Code42 cloud (only applies to Code42 environments that sign in to the Code42 console at: https://www.crashplan.com/console)
4285	HTTPS	Web Browsers	Code42 cloud	Web restore (both zip file and device), user activity profiles, SSO sign in, and authentication API calls.
4287	TLS	Code42 endpoint agents	Code42 cloud	Communication from the device to the Code42 cloud

Additional services integrated with Code42

These are some additional ports used by services that are commonly integrated with Code42 environments.

Port	Protocol	Source	Destination	Description
8200 and 8201	TLS	Code42 cloud	Vault	Communication between a Vault instance and the Code42 cloud
443	HTTPS	Code42 cloud	AD FS server	Sync with AD FS
636	LDAPS	Your directory server	The Code42 User Directory Sync tool	Used by the Code42 User Directory Sync tool to sync with your directory service

Code42 IP addresses

Code42 uses the following IP addresses to provide access to Code42 cloud storage. To ensure uninterrupted access to the Code42 cloud, open your firewall to the following IP addresses:

68.65.192.0/21
162.222.40.0/21
67.222.248.0/21
103.8.239.0/24
216.223.38.0/24
149.5.7.0/24
216.17.8.0/24
50.93.246.0/23
50.93.255.0/24

149.5.44.0/24 was formerly used but is now retired and no longer in use. You do not need to open your firewall to this range anymore. If you previously opened your firewall to this range, we strongly recommend removing it because Code42 will not control it after January 1, 2021.

IP address updates

This information is subject to change, and we recommend that you subscribe to our announcements page in the Code42 community to learn about upcoming changes to IP addresses. See the table below for the revision history of this article.
To ensure uninterrupted connectivity to the Code42 cloud, you should have opened your firewall to all available IP addresses listed above before August 11, 2020. For more information, see IP address updates.

The IP addresses that your Code42 environment uses depends on where you sign in to the Code42 console. To ensure uninterrupted access to the Code42 cloud, open your firewall to IP addresses as follows:

https://console.us.code42.com/console
- The Code42 IP addresses above
- AWS IP addresses ranges and Amazon Cognito Identity endpoints addresses in region us-east-1 for Code42 traffic (over port 443)
- The server address URL for client login: clients.us.code42.com
https://www.crashplan.com/console
- The Code42 IP addresses above
- Address https://event-ingest-default.prod.ffs.us2.code42.com and Amazon Cognito Identity endpoints addresses in region us-east-1 for Code42 traffic (over port 443) if File Metadata Collection is enabled
- The server address URL for client login: central.crashplan.com
https://console.gov.code42.com/console
- AWS IP addresses ranges and Amazon Cognito Identity endpoints addresses in region us-east-1 for all Code42 traffic (over ports 443 and 4287)
- The server address URL for client login: clients.gov.code42.com
https://console.ie.code42.com/console
- The Code42 IP addresses above
- AWS IP addresses ranges and Amazon Cognito Identity endpoints addresses in region eu-west-1 for all Code42 traffic (over ports 443 and 4287)
- The server address URL for client login: clients.ie.code42.com

Add Code42's domain to your allowlist
Amazon Web Services (AWS) IP addresses are highly dynamic across a very large range, so consider instead adding the *.code42.com or *.gov.code42.com domain to your allowlist.
