Port Requirements

To install VMP, you must configure a firewall or proxy firewall.

This firewall or proxy firewall must be configured with the following conditions:

Support for resolving Internet addresses that use DNS
A firewall proxy that does not change incoming or outgoing data (transparent proxy)

To allow communication between VMP devices and services, configure communication protocols and port numbers on the firewall and within the organization network environment.

The following tables describe important system port requirements.
