Firewall Support

Table 11-4

Process	Port
Inet	5555
CRS	Dynamic
BSM	Dynamic
RSM	Dynamic
MSM	Dynamic
DBSM	Dynamic

This leads to the following firewall rule for the connection to the Inet listen port:

✓Allow connections from the GUI system to port 5555 on the CM system

2.Table 11-1 shows that CRS requires only one port. However, since other processes may allocate ports from this range as well, you should specify a range of about five ports on the CM system. The port range could be defined as follows:

OB2PORTRANGESPEC=CRS:20000-20004

The resulting firewall rule for the connection to the CRS process is:

✓Allow connections from the GUI system to ports 20000-20004 on the CM system

3.For the Session Manager, the situation is much more complex. Every Session Manager requires only one port. However, the number of Session Managers (BSM, RSM, MSM, DBSM) heavily depends on the backup environment. The minimum requirement can be estimated with the following formula:

NoOfPorts = NoOfConcurrentSessions + NoOfConnectingGUIs
