Veeam ports tool
https://www.veeambp.com/ports/
With this you can generate a list of needed ports between Veeam components.

No 3rd party tool I can think of off-hand
netstat -an > C:\path\to\folder\ports.txt
If you want FQDN names, run nestat -af > \path\to\ports.txt
Hope that gives you what you want.

You can always try Telnet as well just to see if the connection to a port works. Used that as well as Netstat for troubleshooting. That other tool Joe posted is great too.

If you’re working in restrictive environments, you’re more likely to be able to have access to PowerShell than being able to download binaries, in which case for TCP connections I use the Test-NetConnection cmdlet.
It’s extremely powerful, can give you the interface it used, ICMP results, route tracing diagnostics etc.

I forgot about PowerShell another really great tool for this stuff. Use this more than others typically.

Same as Michael, i’m using posh to do it. If you have network administrators who work like goblins like in my company in the past. Sometimes networks ports became close or not working for no apparent reason. You can schedule a posh script from your monitoring tools to check it everyday.
