Ports
For general requirements for ports that must be opened to ensure proper communication of the backup server with backup infrastructure components, see Ports.
In addition to general port requirements applicable to a backup infrastructure components, the following network ports must be opened to enable proper work of Veeam Plug-Ins.
IBM Db2 Server
The following table describes network ports that must be opened to ensure proper communication of the IBM Db2 server and backup infrastructure components.
From | To | Protocol | Port | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Database server where Veeam Plug-In is installed | Veeam Backup & Replication server | TCP | 10006, | Default ports used for communication with the Veeam Backup & Replication server. Note: Data between Veeam Plug-Ins and backup repositories is transferred directly, bypassing the Veeam Backup & Replication server. |
Backup repository server or gateway server | TCP | 6162, | Default port used by Veeam Data Mover Service. Note: The port range 2500 to 3300 is optional. Only if port 6162 is unavailable, Veeam Plug-In uses the port range 2500 to 3300 for failover. |
Backup Repositories and Gateway Servers
On backup infrastructure components, Veeam Backup & Replication automatically creates firewall rules for the required ports. These rules allow communication between the components. Depending on the type of backup repositories that you use for Veeam Plug-In backups, the following ports must be open to allow communication between backup infrastructure components.
From | To | Protocol | Port | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Direct Attached Storage | ||||
Veeam Backup & Replication server | Backup repository server or gateway server | TCP | 6162 | Default port used by Veeam Data Mover Service. |
Microsoft Windows server used as a backup repository or gateway server | TCP | 6160 | Default port used by the Veeam Installer Service and Veeam Data Mover Service. | |
Network Attached Storage | ||||
Gateway server (specified in the SMB share repository settings) | SMB server | TCP | 445 | Default port used by SMB transport protocol. |
TCP UDP | 135, | SMB/NetBIOS name resolution for SMB protocol is needed in some cases. For details, see Used Ports. | ||
Gateway server (specified in the NFS share repository settings) | NFS server | TCP UDP | 111, | Standard NFS ports used as a transmission channel from the gateway server to the target NFS share. |
Dell Data Domain | ||||
Veeam Backup & Replication server | Dell Data Domain | 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. To change the port, you can use the nfs set server-port command. Note that the command requires SE mode. | ||
TCP | 2052 | Main port used by NFS MOUNTD. To change the port, you can use the nfs set mountd-port command. Note that the command requires SE mode. | ||
HPE StoreOnce | ||||
Veeam Backup & Replication server | HPE StoreOnce | TCP | 9387 | Default command port used for communication with HPE StoreOnce. |
9388 | Default data port used for communication with HPE StoreOnce. | |||
ExaGrid | ||||
Veeam Backup & Replication server | ExaGrid | TCP | 22 | Default command port used for communication with ExaGrid. |
Quantum DXi | ||||
Veeam Backup & Replication server | Quantum DXi | TCP | 22 | Default command port used for communication with Quantum DXi. |
Fujitsu ETERNUS CS800 | ||||
Veeam Backup & Replication server | Fujitsu ETERNUS CS800 | TCP | 22 | Default command port used for communication with Fujitsu ETERNUS CS800. |
Infinidat InfiniGuard | ||||
Veeam Backup & Replication server | Infinidat InfiniGuard | TCP | 22 | Default command port used for communication with Infinidat InfiniGuard. |
