BOSH DNS network communications

Last Updated March 13, 2025

In this topic, you can learn about BOSH DNS internal network communication paths with other VMware Tanzu Application Service for VMs (TAS for VMs) components.

For more information about BOSH DNS, see Native DNS Support in the BOSH documentation.

The following table lists network communication paths for BOSH DNS.

Port 8853 is the destination port for communications between BOSH DNS health processes. You must allow TCP traffic on 8853 for all VMs running BOSH DNS.
