Optional SQL credentials Supplied during installation	If supplied, are used to connect the database by the Enterprise Reporter server.	Read and write permissions are automatically granted during database creation.

Port Requirements

For the Enterprise Reporter components to communicate, some ports must be open.

•

The default port used for communication between the server and the consoles is 7738. This port is also used by the nodes to access the server. The port is configured during installation of the server, and is required in the connection dialog box for both the Configuration Manager and the Report Manager.

You can view the port currently in use on the Information page in the Configuration Manager, and the System Information tab in the Report Manager.

•

The default port used for communication from the Enterprise Reporter server to the nodes is port 7737. This port may be configured during installation.

The following figure shows the ports that are used by the various Enterprise Reporter components.

Figure 3. Ports used by Enterprise Reporter components.

*For more information on ports used when creating a discovery, see Table 12.

**For more information on ports used during data collections, see Table 13.

The following table shows the ports used by all of the Enterprise Reporter components.

Firewall Requirements

The following changes are required to be made to the Windows Firewall settings to allow Enterprise Reporter to return all available data during a discovery. Without these settings, the data returned during a discovery will be limited and the discovery will indicate the following error:

•

The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)

Database Requirements

The Enterprise Reporter server requires a database to store configuration specifications and the information that will be collected from your network environment. Before you install Enterprise Reporter, determine where you will set up your database. It should reside on a SQL Server® that is accessible from the computer running the Enterprise Reporter server. For more information, see SQL Server supported versions .
