Required communication ports
Before you install Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V, ensure that specific communication ports are open in the firewall.
The following TCP ports are used by Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V. These ports must be open on each computer's respective firewall.
Computer | Function | Inbound TCP Ports | Outbound TCP Ports |
---|---|---|---|
Hyper-V host | All | 1581, 1582, 3260, 9081 | 135, 445, 1500, 1581, 9081 |
Windows VM | File restore, application protection | 135, 445 | Does not apply |
Linux mount proxy | File restore | 1581 | 22, 1581, 3260 |
Linux VM | File restore | 22 | Does not apply |
The following table shows what ports are used by what components.
Component | TCP Ports |
---|---|
SSH | 22 |
WMI | 135, 445 |
IBM Spectrum Protect server | 1500 |
Client acceptor (CAD) | 1581, 1582 |
iSCSI | 3260 |
REST API | 9081 |
Restriction: The Windows mount proxy on the Hyper-V host and the Linux mount proxy must be on the same subnet to support iSCSI traffic.
If any of these ports are changed during the configuration, the firewall rules must be updated.
