The tables here show Loggregator internal network communication paths with other VMware Tanzu Application Service for VMs (TAS for VMs) components.
For more information about Loggregator components and architecture, see Loggregator components and architecture.

**Any host configured through a user-provided service binding with a syslog URL.
***Any port configured through a user-provided service binding with syslog URL.
****Basic authentication only supported for HTTPS syslog drains.
Log Cache communications
The following table lists network communication paths for Log Cache:
| Source VM | Destination VM | Port | Transport Layer Protocol | App Layer Protocol | Security and Authentication |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Any VM running Loggregator Syslog Agent* | log_cache | 6067 | TCP | Syslog | TLS |

*When Log Cache is configured to use Syslog ingestion.
**Any source VM can send requests to the specified destination within its subnet.
***When Log Cache is configured to use Reverse Log Proxy ingestion.
BOSH DNS communications
By default, TAS for VMs components and app containers look up services using the BOSH DNS service discovery mechanism. To support this lookup, BOSH Director co-locates a BOSH DNS server on every deployed VM. For more information, see BOSH DNS network communications.
