CIFS for 11.31 --installation and firewall ports

[Rajendra prasad NVR]

Hi,

My server is running 11.31 versions behind the fires wall. Please can any one help me in installing and ports need to open for firewall to permit CIFS mounts of Windows shared drives.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

You must open the ports used by netbios and directory service.

Those ports are:

netbios-ns 137/tcp # NetBIOS Name Service
netbios-ns 137/udp
netbios-dgm 138/tcp # NetBIOS Datagram Service
netbios-dgm 138/udp
netbios-ssn 139/tcp # NetBIOS Session Service
netbios-ssn 139/udp
microsoft-ds 445/tcp # Microsoft Directory Service
microsoft-ds 445/udp

(check /etc/services)

So open 137-139 and 445 on both tcp and udp and should do the job.


Best regards,
Horia.

Depending on what kind of domain controller you want to use:

netbios-ns 137-139 and 445

TCP and UDP
