To enable proper work of Veeam Plug-ins, make sure that you open ports listed below.
From | To | Protocol | Port | Notes |
Veeam Plug-in server | Veeam Backup & Replication server | TCP | 10006 | Default port used for communication with the Veeam Backup & Replication server. Data between Veeam Plug-ins and backup repositories is transferred directly, bypassing the Veeam backup server. |
Veeam backup repository server or gateway server | TCP | 2500 to 5000 | Default range of ports used as data transmission channels. For every TCP connection that a backup process uses, one port from this range is assigned. | |
Veeam Backup & Replication server (Veeam backup proxy or gateway server) | Linux server used as a backup repository | TCP | 22 | Port used as a control channel from the Veeam Plug-in server to the target Linux host. |
TCP | 2500 to 5000 | Default range of ports used as data transmission channels. For every TCP connection that a backup process uses, one port from this range is assigned. | ||
Microsoft Windows server used as a backup repository or gateway server | TCP UDP | 135, 137 to 139, 445 | Ports used as a management channel from the Veeam Plug-in server to the Repository/Gateway server. Also, the ports are used to deploy Veeam components. | |
TCP | 2500 to 5000 | Default range of ports used as data transmission channels. For every TCP connection that a backup process uses, one port from this range is assigned. | ||
TCP | 6160, 6162 | Default ports used by the Veeam Installer Service and Veeam Data Mover Service | ||
Veeam repository server or gateway server | Storage system used as a backup target: Local Storage/iSCSI/SAS/Fibre Channel | See description. | See description. | Default ports used to connect to required storage systems. For details, see the required storage system documentation. |
NFS (mounted into file system of Linux repository server) | TCP | 111 | Port used to assign a random port for the mountd service used by NFS and DDBOOST. Mountd service port can be statically assigned. | |
TCP | 2049 | Main port used by NFS. Can be modified via the ‘nfs set server-port’ command. Command requires SE mode. | ||
TCP | 2052 | Main port used by NFS MOUNTD. Can be modified via the 'nfs set mountd-port' command in SE mode. | ||
CIFS (SMB) share used as a backup repository | TCP | 445 | Default port used by SMB transport protocol. | |
TCP UDP | 135, 137 to 139 | SMB/Netbios name resolution for SMB protocol (needed in some cases). For details, see the required storage system documentation. |
