The NNMi ports fit into the following categories:

 

Ports Used on the NNMi Management Server

The following table shows the ports NNMi uses on the management server. NNMi listens on these ports. If port conflicts occur, you can change most of these port numbers as shown in the Change Configuration column. See the nnm.ports reference page, or the Linux manpage, for more information.

Note For application failover to work successfully, open TCP ports 7800-7810. For the application failover feature to function correctly, the active and standby NNMi management servers must have unrestricted network access to each other.

Ports Used for Communication Between the NNMi Management Server and Other Systems

The following table shows some of the ports NNMi uses to communicate with other systems. If a firewall separates NNMi from these systems, you must open many of these ports in the firewall. The actual set of ports depends on the set of integrations you configured to use with NNMi and how you configured those integrations. If column 4 indicates Client, NNMi connects or sends to this port; if column 4 indicates Server, NNMi listens on this port.

Note If you configure NNMi to use ICMP fault polling or ping sweep for discovery, configure the firewall to pass ICMP packets through the firewall.

Note The Web Services approach for the NNMi-HPOM integration does not work through a firewall, however the NNMi-HPOM integration using the Northbound Interface does work through a firewall.

 

Required Accessible Sockets for Global Network Management

The following table shows the well-known ports that need to be accessible from a global NNMi management server to a regional NNMi management server. The global network management feature requires these ports to be open for TCP access from the global NNMi management server to the regional NNMi management server. The regional NNMi management server will not open sockets back to the global NNMi management server.
