all your question are explined in detail in below T/N

• Master server to/from media servers requires the TCP ports for vnetd/13724 and PBX/1556, bi-directional.
• Master server to client requires the TCP port for vnetd/13724.  
   
• Media server to client requires the TCP port for vnetd/13724 and PBX/1556.
• Media server to media server requires the TCP port for vnetd/13724 and PBX/1556, bi-directional.
   
• Client to master server required the TCP port for vnetd/13724 for client-initiated (user-directed), but not server-initiated, operations. 
• SAN Client to/from master/media servers requires the TCP ports for vnetd/13724 and PBX/1556, bi-directional.  
   
• Java/Windows admin consoles to master and media servers requires the TCP ports for vnetd/13724 and PBX/1556, bi-directional.  
   
• To backup and restore VMWare:
  
  Backup host to vCenter requires TCP port 443.
  
  If using query builder (VIP), master server to vCenter requires TCP port 443.
  
  If using the nbd transport type, backup host to ESX host requires TCP port 902

For NBU 7.6.0.1, scroll down to 7.0.1 section in TECH136090.

You will see all server and client comms are now using PBX (port 1556).

For 7.5 and later, The Resilient Client feature requires vnetd (13724) to be open bi-directional between media server and client.

Hi Experts,

What about bpcd port?

[Marianne]

As from NBU 6.0, there is no longer need for bpcd port.

All port requirements are documented in TECH136090.
