Site Recovery Manager
Network Ports

Site Recovery Manager

uses network ports, which you can configure, to communicate with clients and other servers. You must ensure that firewalls do not block the ports that

Site Recovery Manager

uses.

All

Site Recovery Manager Virtual Appliance

services run behind a reverse HTTP proxy on port 443. The

Site Recovery Manager Appliance

Management Interface requires port 5480.

Site Recovery Manager Server

communicates with

vCenter Server

ESXi

hosts, and Arrays at the local site. You must verify that the network firewall policies enable the traffic to network ports of all components at the local site. For the list of the default ports that all VMware products use, see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1012382.

The connection between the local and the remote site of a

Site Recovery Manager

pair must be private such as VPN. The local

Site Recovery Manager Server

communicates with

Site Recovery Manager Server

and

vCenter Server

on the remote site, and your network provider must ensure the appropriate network policies to enable the traffic.
