Title
Infrastructure monitoring required ports -
Description
What are the requirements for Infrastructure Agent on Windows and Linux and required ports. -
Cause
Windows Remote Management is the Microsoft implementation of the Web Services Management Protocol (WSMAN) which is a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) based protocol over HTTP/HTTPS and is used for system management. For more information, visit the MSDN website.WinRM has two authentication mechanisms that are used by the Agent Manager to establish connections:- Negotiate authentication is based on Kerberos authentication, involving tickets/keys obtained from a Key Distribution Center (KDC).
- Basic authentication uses standard HTTP headers to communicate directly with the remote machine.
-
Resolution
Ideally the user should be local Account Administrator or Domain account Administrator, also require WinRM, DCOM or WMI permissions.
Ports used by the FMS (121594)- Linux Host Ports: 22, 23, 80, 443, 4448, *8080 and 8443
- Windows Host Ports: 22, 23, 80, 443, 445, 593, 1432, 1433, 1434 , 4448, *8080 and 8443
WinRM Connection Ports
WinRM uses a set of default ports for communication. Depending on the WinRM version, the following port numbers are used:- WinRM 1.1 and earlier: The default HTTP port is 80, and the default HTTPS port is 443.
- WinRM 2.0 and later: The default HTTP port is 5985, and the default HTTPS port is 5986.
WMI Connection Ports
- TCP Port 135 (DCE/RPC Locator service, WindowsShellService, WMIConnectionService)
- Either a dynamic range of ports TCP port or a static port
- Dynamic range: Microsoft's default range of ports or this can be configured to a smaller range of ports.
- Fixed (Static) port: Please refer to KB 114559 for details how to set up a fixed WMI port in Windows.
