# 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](https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/userguide/agents_used_ports.html?ver=13) in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.

## 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:

## 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:

<table style="width:100%;" class="Blue_Table">
  <tr style="vertical-align:top">
    <th style="width:9%;">
      <p>Protocol</p>

    <td style="width:15%;">
      <p>2500 to 3000</p>
    </td>
    <td style="width:40%;">
      <p>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.</p>

  </tr>
  <tr style="vertical-align:top">
    <td style="width:9%;">
      <p>TCP</p>

    </td>
    <td style="width:40%;">
      <p>Ports used locally by the embedded NFS server during file-level restore. If port 33049 is occupied, the succeeding port numbers will be used.</p>
      <p>Make sure port 111 is not used by any other application.</p>
    </td>
