Port usage

QoreStor uses certain ports for the services mentioned in the following table. The table also mentions the recommended network group settings (NSG) in Azure for each of the ports. Please refer to the next section for instructions on how to change the default/recommended NSG settings.

Component / Function

Ports used

Protocol

Details

Default Network Security Group setting in Azure

SSH

22

TCP

SSH uses port 22. We recommend keeping this port open to enable secure connections within and from outside the QS

22: ENABLE

UI

80

5233

HTTP

TCP

80 is HTTP port and newer QoreStor releases no longer use it. Quest does not recommend exposing this port to a public network.

QS uses 5233 for HTTPS connections (and not 443). Since this connection is secure, the port remains open in default NSG settings for all incoming traffic.

80: DISABLE

5233: ENABLE

Configuring Azure Network Security Group settings

The settings for enabling or disabling the Network Security Group (NSG) settings are available in Azure using the following instructions.

Service

Leave as the default selection, Custom.

Destination port ranges

(Required) Enter 9000 for this port.
