  5. In the Cassandra configuration file path box, type or browse the path to the Cassandra configuration file.

  6. From the Plan list, select the server plan to use for the Cassandra cluster.

  7. In the CQL port box, type the port number used for CQL connections.

  8. In the JMX port box, type the port number used for JMX connections.

    Note

    You can enable authentications only if they are enabled on the cluster.
