Since we take pride in keeping Cassandra lightweight, it is important that network configuration is highly adaptable. This allows Cassandra nodes to communicate over a greater variety of networks and network devices, across firewalls, and between private networks. +Cassandra nodes talk to each other just like most internet services: over TCP/IP connections. The storage port is the TCP port number used specifically for inter-node communication. By default, this is set to port 7000—check out the `storage_port` setting in the stock *cassandra.yaml* file. + +=== Why Would I Need to Change the storage_port Setting? +There are a few instances where the storage_port setting might commonly need to be changed. You might be trying to run multiple Cassandra instances or configurations on one server, and that server could only have one IP address. In this case, each Cassandra node will need to use its own `storage_port`. Review comment: ```suggestion There are a few instances where the `storage_port` setting might commonly need to be changed.
