Configuring Firewalls for Oracle Secure Backup on Windows
Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows Server 2003 contain a built-in Windows
Firewall which, in the default configuration, blocks inbound traffic on ports used by
Oracle Secure Backup.
If your Windows host is protected by a firewall , then the firewall must be configured
to permit Oracle Secure Backup daemons on the host to communicate with the other
hosts in your administrative domain. Oracle Secure Backup includes daemon
components that listen on port 400, port 10000, and other dynamically assigned ports.
Because the dynamically assigned ports used by Oracle Secure Backup span a broad
range of port numbers, your firewall must be configured to allow executables for the
Oracle Secure Backup daemons to listen on all ports.
The Oracle Secure Backup Windows installation provides a sample batch script called
obfirewallconfig.bat in the bin directory under the Oracle Secure Backup home.
This script contains commands that make the required configuration changes for the
Windows Firewall on Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP systems having a single
network interface. Review the script to determine whether it is suitable for your
environment. You can run the script after the installation completes.
For details on configuration of other firewalls, see the documentation provided by the
vendor. You can refer to the sample script for the Windows Firewall to determine the
names of executables that need permission to listen on ports.
