Installation Guide

Hi Nel,

You can open port 8014 (if you installed it with default settings) for general communication. It's found on page 50 of the Installation guide.
We did that with one of our firewalled environments and it works like a dream...

Regards,

Chris 

p.s Here is the guide to port numbers: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ent-security.nsf/docid/2007090614430148

Do you have a link on the ports for DMZ?
Maybe Symantec has a KB on this?

The only one I could find...

Was this one:
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ent-security.nsf/docid/2008091215040048

It basically runs through a troubleshooting guide - of interest is the Telnet to port 8014 on the SEPM server - if you cannot telnet to this port (again, it's based on the defaults), then the firewall may not have the port opened.

In our particular scenario, we opened port 8014 for all Servers inward/outward bound to the SEPM server IP address on port 8014.

Hope that helps :)

Regards,

Chris

Re

Hi Nel Chris already provided the KB on his post below his name. The SEP clients need ports 8014, 443 type TCP. And if you are planning to place a GUP on the DMZ you may want to open port 2967 TCP.

There no document spcific to

There no document spcific to DMZ you may need to follow the document provided by Chris.

Just ot update !
 
All the communications between the manager & the client happens over http on the port defined in the IIS "default port is 8014"
If you open this port it should work with the communications part atlest.

If a forum post solves your problem, please flag it as a solution. If you like an article, blog post or download vote it up.
