Good day,

 

I know this topic was mentioned, well actually a popular one to say the least. I was introduced to using the Port Finder tool in this forum, a very sweet interface, but it is a bit cumbersome to use.  I just need someone to simply provide the standard port numbers to enable in windows firewall for Veeam B&R 12. 

I clearly get the application group, but source and target service? please explain

I just need port numbers to just enable quickly For:

  1. Backup Jobs and/or replication jobs communications between Hyper V Server comprising windows and linux vms
  2. Backup Proxy communication.

That is all. I dont want to keep my windows firewall domain profile off indefinitely lol.  Does it mean that no one knows the actual port numbers directly.

The source is the FROM and the destination is the TO.  Check this page for the ports laid out differently but with all of them.

Ports - User Guide for VMware vSphere (veeam.com)

I know the link is vSphere but the ports are mainly the same for Hyper-V as well.

Here are ports for Proxies:

Here are ports for Backup Server communication:

https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/hyperv/used_ports.html?ver=120#backup-server

The ‘Notes’ should help in describing which each is for.

It is interesting what AI can do and their purpose really. You guys are the experts here. I am just an engineer doing my daily work as per usual.

 

Is whatsapp meta correct, accure or incorrect? see below responses from the robot, should this be followed

To enable communication between a Windows Server (proxy) and a Veeam Backup Server, you'll need to open the following ports:

From Windows Server (proxy) to Veeam Backup Server:

1. TCP port 135 (RPC)
2. TCP port 445 (SMB/CIFS)
3. TCP port 902 (Veeam Data Mover)
4. TCP port 9392 (Veeam Backup & Replication)

From Veeam Backup Server to Windows Server (proxy):

1. TCP port 445 (SMB/CIFS)
2. TCP port 1024-65535 (dynamic RPC ports)

Additionally, if you're using:

- Veeam Cloud Connect, open TCP port 6180
- Veeam Agent, open TCP port 9393
- Veeam WAN Accelerator, open TCP port 2500-5000 (optional)

Please note that these ports are required for Veeam to communicate with your Windows Server. Make sure to allow incoming and outgoing traffic on these ports in your Windows Firewall settings.

If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!

Those ports look right and would be in the link I sent as well.

Hi @SysEng -

Yes...those indeed do look correct. Key of course is making sure they’re bidirectional.

Add them in the Windows F/W and let us know how it goes.

Thank you for all the responses. This is an excellent community/forum.

No problem @SysEng . Keep us posted!

Thank you for all the responses. This is an excellent community/forum.

Not a problem at all.  Be sure once you get this working to come back and mark the post that helped you the most to answer your question even if it is your own post.
