NetBackup default ports

NetBackup primarily uses the ports as destination ports when connecting to the various services.

See Table: NetBackup ports.

Veritas has registered these ports with Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) and they are not to be used by any other applications.

A few features and services of NetBackup require additional ports to be open. Those requirements are detailed in later sections.

By default, NetBackup uses ports from the non-reserved range for the source port. Those ports are selected randomly from the range provided by the operating system.

Note:

Configuring the Connect Options and other settings may change how source and destination ports are selected. These settings and other non-default configurations, are not discussed here. For details, see the NetBackup Administration Guides, volume 1 and volume 2.

The following table lists the ports required by NetBackup to connect to various services.
