For network configuration, refer directly to the operating system documentation:
Linux: Consult the Rocky Linux Basic Network Configuration Guide for detailed instructions.
macOS: Visit the Set Up a Network Service on Mac page, specify your macOS version, and follow the steps to configure your network interface through the GUI.
Before configuring networking on your workstation, ensure you have the following information:
Contact your system administrator to confirm any of the information above.

Wiretap and DNS-SD rely on multicast to discover Flame Family-related services running on the local and remote hosts. Some network configurations or policies can prevent the use of multicast to discover them. In these circumstances, you can use /opt/Autodesk/cfg/services.cfg to manually expose these services. For more information, refer to the file itself where comments are explaining its use. You may also check the Flame Family Collaboration Basics page for more context.
Refer to the list of network ports to identify which ports must be allowed through your firewall for proper communication between systems and services.
