+# Opening SUSE Linux Ports
+
+SUSE Linux may have a firewall that blocks all ports by default. To open the ports needed for adding the host to a custom cluster,
+
+1. SSH into the instance.
+1. Edit /`etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2` and open the required ports. In this example, ports 9796 and 10250 are also opened for monitoring:
+  ```
+  FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP="22 80 443 2376 2379 2380 6443 9099 9796 10250 10254 30000:32767"
+  FW_SERVICES_EXT_UDP="8472 30000:32767"
+  FW_ROUTE=yes
+  ```
+1. Restart the firewall with the new ports:
+  ```
+  SuSEfirewall2
+  ```
+
+**Result:** The node has the open ports required to be added to a custom cluster.
