What ports should be open to allow remote network agent to communicate with main installation?
Q: What ports should be open to allow IPNetwork main installation to communicate with agents?
A:: Remote Network Agent can operate in two modes: active and passive. In active mode it connects to main installation itself and therefore port should be opened in local network (by default, port 3459 is used; it can be changed in settings). In passive mode agent listens for connections from the main installation, so port should be opened on remote network agent side (port 3457 is used by default, it can be changed in settings via Agent GUI): Distributed Monitoring with Remote Network Agents.
You only need to open a single port in either mode.

Check out our Knowledge Base where we answer questions regarding various topics. Only one port is needed, but the side where it is opened depends on whether the agent works in active or passive mode. In active mode, the agent connects to the main IPNetwork installation, using port 3459 by default unless the setting has been changed. In passive mode, the agent listens for the main installation, using port 3457 by default unless changed in the Agent GUI.
