Port requirements

The following lists the port requirements for Ops Center Administrator.

Ops Center Administrator ports and firewall settings

Ensure that the port numbers specified for use by the Ops Center Administrator server are different from the port numbers used by other programs installed on the same computer.

Table. Ports used by the Ops Center Administrator server
Port number	Description
443/tcp	Used for accessing the Ops Center Administrator UI from Ops Center Administrator clients. Note: If you are using Ops Center Administrator with Ops Center Common Services or Ops Center Protector, you must use a port other than the default (443), which causes a conflict. We suggest 20961/tcp.
161/tcp	Reserved.
161/udp	Reserved.
162/tcp	Reserved.
162/udp	Used for receiving SNMP traps from supported storage systems. You cannot change the settings by using Ops Center Administrator. If products using these ports are installed on the same computer, change the settings of those products.
21611/tcp¹	Used to manage internal services included in the container runtime.
21601-21610/tcp¹, 21612-21619/tcp¹	Used to manage internal services included in the container runtime. Required only when Ops Center Administrator is working in host mode².
21609/udp¹
21700-21799/tcp¹
31000-31999/udp¹	Used to manage storage systems. Required only when Ops Center Administrator is working in host mode².
33000-33999/udp¹
When Ops Center Administrator is working in host mode, you can change the port used for internal services by editing the port configuration file. For details on how to change the port numbers, see Modifying the internal port allocated by Ops Center Administrator for host mode. The port number can only be changed after installation. If you select host mode during the initial installation or change the host mode during the upgrade installation, ensure that the Ops Center Administrator default port numbers are not in use. If other programs need to use these ports, stop them when the installation is in progress or the installation will fail. Changes to the internal service port numbers used in host mode are retained after an upgrade installation. However, they are not retained when performing an upgrade using backup and restore, as the internal port information is not migrated. In this case, ensure that the Ops Center Administrator default port numbers are not in use, and change the port number manually again after the installation. For more information, see Upgrading Ops Center Administrator by using backup and restore. For details about host mode, see Installing Ops Center Administrator with the application installer.

In an environment with firewalls set up in the network that connects the Ops Center Administrator server, Ops Center Administrator clients, and storage systems, you must register ports used by Ops Center products as firewall exceptions.
