Ports
The following diagram and table describe ports that must be open to ensure that Veeam Availability Console components and machines interacting with these components can exchange data.
From | To | Protocol | Port | Description |
Veeam Availability Console Web UI | Veeam Availability Console Server | TCP, UDP | 1989 | Default port that the Veeam Availability Console Web UI component uses to communicate with the Server component. |
Management agent | Cloud gateway | TCP, UDP | 6180 | Default port on a cloud gateway used to transfer traffic from management agents, deployed in a client infrastructure, to cloud gateways. |
Certificate Revocation Lists | TCP | 80 or 443 (most popular) | Tenant backup server needs access to CRLs (Certificate Revocation Lists) of the CA (Certification Authority) who issued a certificate to the SP. Generally, information about CRL locations can be found on the CA website. | |
Windows Automatic Root Certificates Update component | TCP | 443 | Port used by the Automatic Root Certificates Update component for communication with the Windows Update endpoint. Applicable to Microsoft Windows 10 and later, Microsoft Windows Server 2016 and later. For details, see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/privacy/manage-windows-endpoints#certificates. | |
Cloud gateway | Veeam Cloud Connect server | TCP | 2500-5000 | Port range used during transfer of the management agent from the Veeam Cloud Connect server to a tenant’s backup server. The management agent transfer is performed when a Veeam Backup & Replication server is connected to Veeam Availability Console. |
Cloud gateway | Veeam Availability Console Server | TCP, UDP | 9999 | Default port used to transfer traffic from cloud gateways and Veeam Cloud Connect server to Veeam Availability Console Server component. Note: If you deploy Veeam Availability Console server and Veeam Cloud Connect server in different networks, it is recommended to set up a VPN bridge between these networks. Exposing Veeam Availability Console server and Veeam Cloud Connect server ports to the internet is not recommended. |
