Hi,

Referring to Port Usage Guide for Windows and UNIX Platforms (http://support.veritas.com/docs/281623), the following are the excerpted information:

Minimum Master Server Outgoing Connections
6.0 Master Server --> 6.0 Media Server
Client port window --> vnetd/13724 and veritas_pbx/1556
 
6.0 Master Server --> 6.0 Client
Client port window --> vnetd/13724 
 
6.0 Master Server --> 5.x Client
Client reserved port window --> vnetd/13724 and bpcd/13782



Minimum Media Server Outgoing Connections
6.0 Media Server --> 6.0 Master Server
Client port window --> vnetd/13724 and veritas_pbx/1556
 
6.0 Media Server --> 6.0 Media Server
Client port window --> vnetd/13724 

6.0 Media Server --> EMM Server
Client port window --> veritas_pbx/1556
 
6.0 Media Server --> 6.0 Client
Client port window --> vnetd/13724 
 

6.0 Media Server --> 5.x Client
Client reserved port window --> vnetd/13724 and bpcd/13782



Minimum Enterprise Media Manager Outgoing Connections
EMM Server --> 6.0 Master Server
Client port window --> veritas_pbx/1556

EMM Server --> 6.0 Media Server
Client port window --> veritas_pbx/1556


Minimum Client Outgoing Connections
6.0 Client --> 6.0 Master Server
Client port window --> vnetd/13724 
 

5.x Client --> 6.0 Master Server
Client port window --> vnetd/13724 
Client reserved port window --> vnetd/13724 

5.x Client --> 6.0 Media Server
Client reserved port window --> vnetd/13724 
 

where as
Client Port Window should be non-reserved ports (1024 - 5000). 
Client Reserved Port Window should be reserved ports (512 - 1023).


Just would like to confirm the above mentioned are correct ?

Although minimal ports required, Client Port Window (1024 - 5000) and Client Reserved Port Window (512 - 1023) are still required to open ?

Thank you.

You can engineer your entire solution around having vnetd and 1556 opened only.  Of course you have a few wrenches if you have older clients.  I know in my last environment, and we have a few 4.5 clients still hanging around.  You have to use the legacy connection options ( from 5.1) if you're using a 6.x master server.
