Network Requirements

You manage and monitor PerformanceGuard through a web browser: PerformanceGuard operators connect to the PerformanceGuard web server on the ports specified during the installation of the PerformanceGuard server.

The default ports for this purpose are TCP ports 80 and 81. If you install the web server with HTTPS (Use SSL), the default ports are 443 and 8443.

In a default installation you must therefore as a minimum allow:

  • Incoming connections to the PerformanceGuard frontend server on TCP port 4001 from all computers with an agent installed
  • Incoming connections to the PerformanceGuard web server on TCP port 80 and 81 (or 443 and 8443 with HTTPS) from administrative clients

Depending on your setup, you must also allow:

  • Incoming connections to the PerformanceGuard backend server on TCP port 4008 from each frontend server, if the frontend and backend servers are on different computers
  • Connections from the PerformanceGuard servers to the SQL Server that hosts the databases, by default on TCP port 1433
  • Outbound HTTPS (TCP port 443) from the agents to api.capaone.com, if you use Update Agents Automatically

For all default ports, see Installation.
