Ports Used by Infrastructure Deployment

Infrastructure deployment is part of the domain manager. Its port usage is provided in a separate section to highlight the fact that these ports need to be open only if or while infrastructure deployment is used.

The ports mentioned in the following tables (excluding port 7) are used to push out the infrastructure deployment primer from the domain manager. If a customer is willing to install the primer manually or does not want to use infrastructure deployment at all, the ports will not need to be opened up. It is not necessary to open all ports for all targets. The ports do not need to be left open; they need to be opened only during the deployment period.

In addition, the customer can open up a subset of MS Share/telnet and FTP/SSH ports depending on the communications mechanisms used.
