Verify port settings

Verify port settings

Appliance ports must be configured correctly to enable device management and database or file access.

•
Ensure that the appropriate appliance ports are not blocked by firewall settings:

Port

Use

Direction

20 and 21

(Optional and not recommended) Used to access backup files on the appliance through FTP from outside the firewall.

Inbound to the appliance

22

(Recommended) Used to create an SSH tunnel to quest.com.

Outbound from the appliance

25

(Optional) Used by the appliance SMTP server for email (non-SSL). This is required only if you configure SMTP email. See Configuring SMTP email servers.

Outbound from the appliance

80

(Required unless SSL is enabled) Used for standard HTTP (web) access to the Administrator Console and User Console.

Inbound to the appliance

110

(Optional) Used for POP3 email (non-SSL)

Inbound to the appliance

161

(Optional) Used for SNMP monitoring. See Discovering devices on your network.

Outbound from the appliance

199

(Optional) Used for unidirectional (read-only) SNMP access to managed devices on the network through SMUX, an SNMP multiplexing protocol. See Configure security settings for the appliance

Outbound from the appliance

443

(Required) Used for SSL access and agent messaging protocol communications.

Devices use this port when they check in to the appliance using HTTPS.

The appliance listens on this port for communications from devices on which the KACE Agent is installed.

Inbound to the appliance

587

(Optional) Used by the appliance SMTP server for secure email (SSL enabled). This is required only if you configure secure SMTP email. See Configuring SMTP email servers.

Outbound from the appliance

995

(Optional) Used for POP3 email (SSL enabled).

Inbound to the appliance

3306

(Optional) Used to access the appliance database with external tools. For example, this port is used to run reports on the appliance database using Microsoft Access® or Excel®.

Inbound to the appliance

•
Ensure that the appropriate device ports are accessible to the appliance:

Port

Use

7

(Optional) Used by the appliance for UDP traffic on the network, which is used for Wake-on-LAN. See Using Wake-on-LAN.

139

(Optional) Used during KACE Agent provisioning on Windows devices.

161

(Optional) Used for SNMP monitoring. This port should be open and bound to SNMP. See Discovering devices on your network.

445

(Optional) Used during KACE Agent provisioning. See Provisioning the KACE Agent.

•
To use an LDAP server for authentication, ensure that the appropriate ports are accessible from the appliance:

Port

Use

389

(Optional) Used for LDAP access.

636

(Optional) Used for secure LDAP access.

Verifying the status of the NTP service

Verifying the status of the NTP service

When downloading patches using HTTPS, the NTP (Network Time Protocol) service must be running on the appliance. The NTP service is required because the secure protocol uses the current date stamps from the appliance to ensure certificate validity.

If the NTP service is not running, patch download failures, suggesting invalid certificates, might result.

Make necessary websites accessible to the appliance

Make necessary websites accessible to the appliance

To complete patch downloads, access product information, and interact with Quest Support, firewall, DNS server, and proxy server settings must allow the appliance to access domains on both port 80 and port 443.

•
Ensure that the appliance Administrator Console has links to the following websites:
