Is it possible for ironic to use port other than 80 on bootstrap machine during installation?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Can Ironic use ports other than 80 on the bootstrap machine during bare-metal IPI installation due to security concerns?
  • As per official document out-of-band management IP address must be granted access to port 80 on bootstrap node. As this port is too common, there are some security concerns related to this.

Environment
