What ports does the BlockBox Virtual Appliance leverage?

A question we often get leading up to deployment or during troubleshooting is: what ports will your inventory and other processes be leveraging on my network? We have a complete list below - but some good news is that these ports are very rarely - if ever - blocked. But without further fanfare, here is the complete list of ports we presently leverage for inventory purposes:

 

  • TCP 135, 1025-5000 and 49152-65535 (WMI)
  • TCP 445 (SMB - RPC)
  • TCP 1025 (Alternate Netbios)
  • TCP port 465 (SSL-Encrypted Email)
  • TCP 139 (NetBIOS)
  • UDP 137 (NetBIOS)
  • TCP 389 (LDAP)
  • TCP 636 (LDAPS)
  • HTTP 80 (External Data Feeds)
  • HTTP/SSL 443 (External Data Feeds + Updates/Patches + External Data/Debug Transfer)
  • SSH 22 (OSX + POSIX-Compliant Inventory + CLI access)
  • 1521 (Oracle DB Connection)
  • UDP 161 & 162 (SNMP)
  • WinRM 5985 for HTTP, and 5986 for HTTPS

 

We will keep this list up to date of course as new protocols and inventory features sometimes involve the addition/changing of the ports we leverage.
