Client Port Window

[Phani_Kiran]

Hello Guys,

Hope you can help me with this. Here in our environment we have Client Reserved Ports (ports between 512 and 1023) blocked on our firewalls, but we have Client Non Reserved Ports (ports between 3001 and 4000) opened. The client we want to backup is outside the firewall and it always tries to communicate to the Master server on ports between 512 and 1023 but not 3001 and 4000 and fails. We do not use VNETD.

My question is, is there any way that I can have the Client communicate only through CNRPW (3001 4000) and just ignore CRPW? On this client, I have changed CRPW in registry to "0 0" but that didn't make any difference.

I have seen other servers using ports above 3001 with successful backups. Any suggestion please?

Thanks,

Guys, I was able to crack this yesterday after investing a lot of time.
Here is what I did:

1) Executed the following command from the Master server to disable the client using the CRPW and only use CPW.
bpclient -client -add -connect_nr_port 1.
2) The above command enables the client to only communicate through Non-reserved ports (in our case, ports between 3001 and 4000).

Thanks for looking anyways,
Cheers.
