Veritas NetBackup™ Network Ports Reference Guide

Product(s): NetBackup (8.1.1, 8.1)

NetBackup 5200 and 5220 appliance ports (for firewall between master and media server)

In addition to the ports used by NetBackup, the 52xx appliances also provide for both in-band and out-of-band management. The out-of-band management is through a separate network connection, the Remote Management Module (RMM), and the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI). Open these ports through the firewall as appropriate to allow access to the management services from a remote laptop or KVM (keyboard, video monitor, mouse).

The following table describes the ports to open inbound to the NetBackup appliance.
