Ports

The following tables describe network ports that must be opened to enable communication between Veeam Agent operating in the standalone mode and other backup infrastructure components.

To learn about ports required to enable proper work of Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris managed by Veeam Backup & Replication, see Ports in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.

Communication Between Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris Components

To ensure proper communication between Veeam Agent components, you must allow local traffic for the following ports on the Veeam Agent computer:

Protocol

Port

Notes

TCP

2500 to 3000

Default range of ports used locally on the Veeam Agent computer for communication between Veeam Agent components during data transmission. For every TCP connection that a backup job uses, one port from this range is assigned.

TCP

32768 to 65535

Default range of ephemeral ports used locally on the Veeam Agent computer for communication between Veeam Agent components during data transmission. For every TCP connection that a backup job uses, one port from this range is assigned.

TCP

33049+, 111

Ports used locally by the embedded NFS server during file-level restore. If port 33049 is occupied, the succeeding port numbers will be used.

Communication with Veeam Backup Servers

To ensure proper communication between Veeam Agent and Veeam backup server, you must allow network traffic for the following ports:

From

To

Protocol

Port

Notes

Veeam Agent computer

Veeam backup server

TCP

10006

Default port used for communication with the Veeam backup server.

Data between the Veeam Agent computer and backup repositories is transferred directly, bypassing Veeam backup servers.

TCP

443

Port used by Veeam Agent to obtain authentication tokens from Veeam Backup Identity Service.

Veeam backup server

Veeam Agent computer

TCP

2500 to 3300

Ports used by Veeam backup server to perform file-level restore launched from Veeam Backup & Replication.

Communication with Veeam Backup & Replication Repositories

To ensure proper communication between Veeam Agent and Veeam backup repositories, you must allow outgoing network traffic for the following ports:

From

To

Protocol

Port

Notes

Veeam Agent computer

Linux or Microsoft Windows server acting as a backup repository

TCP

6162, 2500 to 3000

Default ports used as data transmission channels.

Shared folder SMB (CIFS) share

TCP
UDP

445, 139,
137, 138

Ports used as a data transmission channel from the Veeam Agent computer to the target SMB (CIFS) share.

Ports 137 to 139 are used by backup infrastructure components to communicate using NetBIOS.

Shared folder NFS share

TCP
UDP

111,
2049

Standard NFS ports used as a data transmission channel from the Veeam Agent computer to the target NFS share.

Communication with Object Storage

The following table describes network ports that must be opened to ensure proper communication with object storage if you back up data to object storage directly or to object storage added as a Veeam backup repository with the direct connection mode.

From

To

Protocol

Port

Notes

Veeam Agent computer

Amazon S3 object storage

TCP

443

Used to communicate with the Amazon S3 object storage through the following endpoints:

  • *.amazonaws.com (for both Global and Government regions)
  • *.amazonaws.com.cn (for China region)

All AWS service endpoints are specified in the AWS documentation.

80

Used to verify the certificate status through the following endpoints:

  • *.amazontrust.com
  • *.cloudfront.net

Consider that certificate verification endpoints (CRL URLs and OCSP servers) are subject to change. The actual list of addresses can be found in the certificate itself.

IBM Cloud object storage

TCP

Depends on device configuration

Used to communicate with IBM Cloud object storage.

S3 compatible object storage

TCP

Depends on device configuration

Used to communicate with S3 compatible object storage.
