topic Firewall ports for VCAgent in Server Management - Systems Insight Manager https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/firewall-ports-for-vcagent/m-p/5190333#M51441 Does anyone know what ports are needed to allow communication between a VCAgent and the VC Repository (SIM server) when a firewall seperates them?<BR /><BR />I thought it was just 2381 and 2301 (both directions) but I keep getting "The specified repository, MYSIMSERVER, is invalid or not reachable" when I try to setup the connection. Normal SMH and SNMP works for this server. The SIM server is able to properly identify this server and collection data inventory information...yet VC fails.<BR /><BR />Do I also need 280?<BR />Thanks<BR />Nelson Wed, 29 Jul 2009 18:51:25 GMT NJK-Work 2009-07-29T18:51:25Z Firewall ports for VCAgent https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/firewall-ports-for-vcagent/m-p/5190333#M51441 Does anyone know what ports are needed to allow communication between a VCAgent and the VC Repository (SIM server) when a firewall seperates them?<BR /><BR />I thought it was just 2381 and 2301 (both directions) but I keep getting "The specified repository, MYSIMSERVER, is invalid or not reachable" when I try to setup the connection.

I will try that.<BR /><BR />Nelson Wed, 29 Jul 2009 19:04:16 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/firewall-ports-for-vcagent/m-p/5190334#M51442 NJK-Work 2009-07-29T19:04:16Z Re: Firewall ports for VCAgent https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/firewall-ports-for-vcagent/m-p/5190335#M51443 I opened port 280 on the firewall and it is now working.
