Active Directory Ports - NethServer IP or AD Container IP?

Microsoft page with defined ports needed for common Active Directory related ports needed for proper communication and domain join. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/179442/how-to-configure-a-firewall-for-domains-and-trusts

Question: When adding new rules to our network firewalls on our internal LAN, what IP are we targeting here with the way NethServer runs AD in a separate container with it’s own IP?

Do we use NethServer VM IP for all ports?
AD container IP for all?
Mixture of both depending on the ports?

The Nethserver (domain member) uses following ports:

Awesome! Thanks Markus

To the NethServer website admin or other project devs, these links should go in official how to docs or the manual somewhere. (Unless it is somewhere that I didn’t find)
