Firewall settings are required to communicate with NetVault Clients that reside outside the firewall. You can use these settings to specify the TCP/IP ports for establishing data transfer channels, message channels, and broadcast channels through the firewall.
You can configure the firewall settings when deploying or adding a client, or update these settings from the Change Settings page. You can also use the NetVault WebUI or Txtconfig utilities to configure the firewall settings for new or existing clients.
