NetBackup deduplication ports

The following table shows the ports that are used for NetBackup deduplication that includes Media Server Deduplication (MSDP), and optimized deduplication. If firewalls exist between the various deduplication hosts, you must open the required ports.

Deduplication hosts are the media servers, deduplication storage servers, any load balancing servers, and any clients that deduplicate their own data.

Note:

MSDP with Client-Direct (client deduplication) and optimized duplication need some ports to be opened.
