[Lustre-discuss] mounting lustre client behind firewall

I believe port tcp port 988 is used by default for the tcp lnet
module. I'm not sure what other ports are required, but at the very
least the client needs be able to connect to port 988 on the MDS and
OSSes. The connection will be initiated by the node from a source port
<1024. Does that help?
