Explanation

For URL Filtering, the FMC must be able to communicate outbound with Cisco's cloud-based URL intelligence service. It requires outbound TCP/443 (A) for encrypted HTTPS communication used to download URL category and reputation updates, and outbound TCP/80 (E) for HTTP-based communication to the Cisco cloud. Both are outbound from FMC to Cisco's cloud servers - inbound ports (B, D) are not required for this cloud lookup function. TCP/8080 (C) is not a required port for URL Filtering cloud communication.
