Node Address

The node address is the access address for the UKafka service. To ensure high availability, it is suggested that the client uses at least node addresses 1, 2, and 3 for access.

PLAINTEXT Protocol Address

In the Node Management interface, click on “Node Address” to enter the Node Address Information page.

The Node Address Information page displays the node name and the PLAINTEXT protocol (default). The access address of the PLAINTEXT protocol can be used in the same internal network environment of the cluster.

SASL_PLAINTEXT Protocol Address

If you have activated the cluster authentication configuration, the “Node Address” Information page will display an additional SASL_PLAINTEXT protocol field. This is used for the client to access the cluster using the SASL protocol, suitable for forwarding to an external network environment.
