We plan to install ODT on the WSUS server and download Office updates from the CDN.
Please let me know the port permission settings required for the WSUS server to access the CDN.

The WSUS server requires outbound access on specific ports to communicate with the CDN. Here are the port permission settings required:
Port 80 (HTTP): Allow outbound access on port 80 to connect to the CDN over HTTP. This port is commonly used for standard web traffic.
Port 443 (HTTPS): Allow outbound access on port 443 to connect to the CDN over HTTPS. This port is commonly used for secure web traffic.
These ports are the standard ports for web traffic, and they are typically allowed by default in most network configurations. However, if you have a restrictive firewall or proxy configuration, you may need to explicitly configure the port permissions to ensure the WSUS server can access the CDN.
It's important to note that the specific network and firewall configuration may vary based on your environment. If you have a network administrator or IT team responsible for managing your network infrastructure, it's recommended to consult with them to ensure the appropriate port permissions are configured for your specific network setup.
Additionally, keep in mind that network security practices may vary between organizations, so it's important to adhere to your organization's security policies and guidelines when configuring port permissions for outbound access from your WSUS server to the CDN.
