Why each option
GTM systems require port 22 (SSH/iQuery) and port 4353 (iQuery) open for inter-BIG-IP system communication.
Port 22 is used for SSH-based iQuery communication, which BIG-IP GTM uses to securely exchange configuration and health status data with other BIG-IP systems in the network.
Port 53 is the standard DNS query and response port used by clients and resolvers, not a port required for GTM-to-BIG-IP inter-system management communication.
Port 443 is used for HTTPS and the BIG-IP management GUI, but it is not one of the required ports for GTM inter-system iQuery communication.
Port 4353 is the dedicated iQuery protocol port used by BIG-IP GTM (BIG-IP DNS) to synchronize topology, pool member status, and performance metrics between GTM and other BIG-IP systems.
Port 4354 is not the iQuery protocol port - port 4353 is the correct port designated for iQuery inter-BIG-IP communication.
