Hi,  
Is there any other ways to send request to elasticsearch other than through 9200 port.  
Thanks.

So, only requests are made only through 9200 and the only other way is to change its port number?

In the project i am working,i have to make sure there is no other ways to access Es for security purposes, except for 9200.  
So i just wanted to confirm that its the only way.  
Thanks

The transport client connects and communicates over port 9300, which is also used for communication within the cluster.
