Site Gateway Network Requirements

Firewall Configuration

IP Configuration

  • Site Gateway requires DNS and NTP for name resolution and accurate time

  • Communication to the Samsara Cloud using TLS over TCP port 443

  • No inbound port forwarding rules are required

  • The Site Gateway is configured to acquire an IP address via DHCP, but can be configured with a static IP address on one or both Ethernet interfaces.

If you don’t have a DHCP Server, Configure Site Gateway to Static IP

By default the Samsara Site Gateway comes preconfigured to auto discover on your network using DHCP. You can configure the Site Gateway to be Static on the Internet network as well as any local network where cameras are located. See Configure Site Gateway to Static IP.
