After you receive your appliance, you must run the attestation service to ensure that the appliance hasn't been tampered with during shipping. The following table describes the IP network port that is used to run the attestation application.
| Service | IP Ports | IP Protocol | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attestation service | 8081 | TCP | Run the Transfer Appliance attestation application after you receive the appliance to ensure it hasn't been tampered with during shipping. For more information on how to validate your appliance, refer to the Receive your Transfer Appliance page. |
