B.2 Firewall Requirements

Depending on the host system, exceptions must be added to the firewall rules for that host. The following are needed for successful operation of File Reporter tasks.

NOTE:Firewall exceptions for File Reporter components installed on Windows are set up automatically during configuration of each component.

  • The Engine must remain permitted to make outbound connections.

  • The Engine must remain able to listen on port 3035.

    This is the default port choice that is presented during the installation and configuration.

  • File System Agents (legacy Agent for Windows, AgentFS, Agent for OES Linux) must be permitted to make outbound connections.

  • File System Agents (legacy Agent for Windows, AgentFS, Agent for OES Linux) must remain able to listen on TCP port 3037.

    This is the default port choice that is presented during the installation and configuration.

  • The Web Application hosted on IIS must be allowed to listen on TCP ports 80 and 443.

  • On each server hosting storage that you wish to collect quota via proxy, you must enable the Remote File Server Resource Manager Management - FSRM Service (RPC-In) firewall rule.

  • If File Content Analysis is enabled:

    • ManagerFC must remain permitted to make outbound connections.

    • AgentFC must remain permitted to make outbound connections.

    • RabbitMQ must remain permitted to make outbound connections.

    • RabbitMQ must remain permitted to listen on TCP port 15672 for the management interface.

      This is the default port that RabbitMQ management interface listens on.

    • RabbitMQ must remain permitted to listen on TCP port 5671.

      This is the default port that RabbitMQ is configured for with TLS.
