Which firewall ports need to be opened to manage devices over a WAN?

To manage devices across a WAN, ensure the following ports are open on the firewall for proper communication:

  • TCP Port 8060 - Web Server Port used for connecting to OpUtils Web console using HTTP
  • TCP Port 8061 - Web Server Port used for connecting to OpUtils Web console using HTTPS
  • UDP Port 161 - To send and receive SNMP requests
  • UDP Port 162 - For receiving SNMP traps from devices
  • UDP Port 69 - Used by the TFTP Server to upload and download config files from Cisco devices
  • TCP Port 53 - Enables IP to DNS resolution
  • TCP(WinRM) Port 5985(HTTP) & 5986(HTTPS) - DHCP MAC filtering and DHCP Reservation
  • RPC Port 135 - To fetch DHCP scope information from a Microsoft server

Note: You can change the default web port (8060/8061) to a custom port as per your network policy.
