Management server and client ports
The Management application has two parts: the Server and the Client. The Server is installed on one machine and
stores device-related information; it does not have a user interface. To view information through a user interface, you
must log in to the Server through a Client. The Server and Clients may reside on the same machine, or on separate
machines. If you are running Professional, the server and the client must be on the same machine.
In some cases, a network may utilize virtual private network (VPN) or firewall technology, which can prohibit
communication between Switches and the Servers or Clients. In other words, a Server or Client can find a Switch,
appear to log in, but is immediately logged out because the Switch cannot reach the Server or Client. To resolve this
issue, check to determine if the ports in the table below need to be opened up in the firewall.
NOTE
Professional edition does not support remote clients.
Table 3
lists the ports that need to be opened up in the firewall for Professional.
