How do I allow multiple ports simultaneously in UFW?

You can allow multiple (TCP or UDP) ports in this way:

ufw allow 22,25,80,443,9000/tcp

Or you can add a range of ports in this way (source and more explanations):

ufw allow 11200:11299/tcp

For more complicated configurations you can create a custom configuration files that could contain one or more custom profiles. For example (man ufw; complete example):

$ cat /etc/ufw/applications.d/my-custom-profiles

[MyCustomProfile]
title=Some title
desctiption=Some description
ports=22,25,80,443/tcp|9000,9005:9007/tcp

You can allow any profile in this way:

ufw allow MyCustomProfile

For anyone dealing with the message

WARN: "Invalid ports in profile 'cassandra'"

or just trying to set up Cassandra on UFW in Ubuntu I found the above pa4080 ports= example the only thing I could get to work. Having found that I carefully worked back through it and it seems that for more than one port UFW wants /tcp (or I assume something else equally as valid) on the last port.

[cassandra]
title=cassandra ufw rules
description=cassandra needs these ports to run
ports=22,7000,7001,7199,9042,9142,9160/tcp

I found this to be the complete, acceptable entry for UFW.

Having spent a fair amount of time on reading the documentation I will follow with my notes that may be of interest.

Public port
Port number.    Description  
22            SSH port

Cassandra inter-node ports
Port number.    Description
 7000           Cassandra inter-node cluster communication.
 7001           Cassandra SSL inter-node cluster communication.
 7199           Cassandra JMX monitoring port.

Cassandra client ports
Port number.    Description
 9042           Cassandra client port.
 9160           Cassandra client port (Thrift).
 9142           Default for native_transport_port_ssl, useful when both encrypted and unencrypted connections are required

To do this manually:

sudo ufw allow 22
sudo ufw allow 7001
sudo ufw allow 7199
sudo ufw allow 7000
sudo ufw allow 9042
sudo ufw allow 9160
sudo ufw allow 9142

Ports 7000 and 9042 must be available for external nodes to connect to. As a security measure, limit connections to these ports to only the IP addresses of any other nodes in the cluster.

ufw allow proto tcp from [external_node_ip_address] to any port 7000,9042 comment "Cassandra TCP"

Next step is ufw allow from 192.168.0.0/16 to any app cassandra and test that.
