 ## RDMA?
 Glusterd2 will not support access over RDMA because services offered by it are
 not in the I/O path.

+**Ports used by bricks:** Unlike glusterd1, glusterd2 will not explicitly
+specify a free port that a brick being spawned will bind on. The brick process
+will bind on a free port provided by the kernel and shall notify glusterd2
+about the port it has bound on. The kernel will pick a free available port
+from the range of ephemeral port range configured on the system. This can
+be configured as follows:
+
+```sh
+sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range="49152 49664"
+```
+
+The above command illustrates configuring ephemeral port range on linux. In
+the above example, as a range of 512 ports has been set as the ephemeral
+port range, firewalld can be configured to allow TCP traffic on this port
+range. This blanket open of port range is not ideal and will be addressed in
+the future by having glusterd2 possibly configure firewalld over dbus or via
+a hook script that will be invoked when a brick signs in.
