External access
If you'll be using Esri-provided services, such as basemaps and data from ArcGIS Online, the machine hosting Portal for ArcGIS will need access to the Internet. If your portal will not have access to the Internet, you'll need to perform some additional configuration steps to ensure your portal is pointing to local resources.
