McData Switches: Default Ports and Firewall Considerations
The default ports for Storage Viewer collection of McData switch data include:
HTTP - 5988
HTTPS - 5989
Note: If a firewall exists between the SMI agent and SMI client, the above ports must be open.
The following ports are not a Storage Viewer-specific requirement, however, McData supports two different configurations when adding switches to your environment, which dictates the other ports that need to be open:
McData Direct Connection Mode: If a firewall exists between the SMI agent and the McData switch in direct-mode operation, the following port numbers must be open:
20 - FTP data
21 - FTP control
23 - Telnet/sectelnet
161 - SNMP
162 - SNMP Trap
2048, 2049 - MPI discovery
80 - HTTP
443 - HTTPS
1812, 1813 - RADIUS
McData EFCM/DCFM Proxy Mode: If a firewall exists between the SMI agent and the McData switch in EFCM/DCFM Proxy Mode, the following port numbers must be open:
80 - HTTP
51511 - API Server-to-Client communication
51510 - API Server-to-Client export
55555 - API Client-to-Server export
51513 - ECCAPI
8081 - Web proxy
