      Firewall configuration: Default ports

Brocade switches: Default ports and firewall considerations

The default ports for NetBackup IT Analytics collection of Brocade switch data include:

  • HTTP - 5988

  • HTTPS - 5989

The following ports are not an NetBackup IT Analytics specific requirement, however, the Brocade SMI agent contacts the switch via RPC on port mapper port 111. Other RPC calls use ports 897 (non-secure) and 898 (secure). If a firewall exists between the Brocade SMI agent and the Brocade fabric, the following ports must be open:

  • RPC on port mapper - 111

  • RPC (non-secure) - 897

  • RPC (secure) - 898
