The following TCP ports are required to be open when building your virtual machine:

 

This port must be open in order to access the dcTrack login page.

Leaving the following TCP ports open is optional:

 

If you do not leave these ports open, note the requirements and/or limitations indicated here.

 

It is not necessary to have the SSH port open since SSH functionality is available directly on the virtual machine console. If port 22 is not open, however, SSH cannot be used to access dcTrack to perform diagnostic operations of any kind.

 

If port 80 is not open, users must specify HTTPS:// when entering the dcTrack URL in their browser.

 

Port 514 is required to forward system logs.

 

Port 161 is required for SNMP discovery via Classic View.

 

Email SMTP connectivity requires the appropriate port(s) be open. These may vary based on your organization.
