Firewall configuration: Default ports

The following table describes the standard ports used by the Portal servers, the Data Collector servers, and any embedded third-party software products as part of a standard "out-of-the-box" installation.

Table: Components: Default Ports

Component	Default Ports
Apache Web Server	http 80 https 443

ZooKeeper	2181 Note: NetBackup IT Analytics uses standalone installation of single-node Apache ZooKeeper server. For secure communications, ZooKeeper single-node cluster must be protected from external traffic using network security such as firewall. This is remediated by ensuring that the ZooKeeper port (2181) is only accessible on the local host where NetBackup IT Analytics Portal/Data Collector is installed (that includes Apache ZooKeeper).
