Netbackup port requirements for bplist command

I have a media server in the DMZ that has these ports open to master (bi-directional)  1556 13724 13786

My DBA wants to be able use bplist in a script from a DMZ client to verify certain files have already been backed up prior to purging them.

Does the client need those ports to the master as well?  Same ports?  

We would prefer to have a way to script this on the client without having to open more firewall ports...   is there a way to run it on the client, but go through the media server?

    Hi PaulStevens,

    Can you check these ports? 

    Master ==> Client

    13782
    13724
    1556

    Media ==> Client

    13724
    1556

    Client ==> Master and Media

    \

    I have a question, do you mentioned in your post, the port 13786, I know these port belongs to OpsCenter Server. Are you using this port for Netbackup?

    No, ports need to be opened or you need to run it on the media server. Is it Unix/Linux, then you can maybe remote execute it or use ssh?

    bplist on the client needs to connect to bprd on the master server. Only port 1556 needs to be open in both directions. Nothing else.

      I have a request into the network team to review the firewall rules to see which ports are open.

      I am able to connect to the client from the admin console.....   admin console is not in DMZ, these clients are in DMZ.  So that should mean that 1556 is open both directions?

      Client to media server, ports are not an issue since the media server is in te DMZ as well
