20 Amanda Portal Firewall Ports
When configuring Amanda Portal to be accessible via the Internet, there is usually a
firewall between the internal network(intranet) and the internet. In order for users to
connect to Amanda Portal via the Internet make sure that the following ports are open in
your firewall.
Port Used by
23 Telnet
25 SMTP (external SMTP server only, for internal SMTP
servers you don’t need to open port 25)
80 HTTP (for Web Browser support)
110 POP3
129-132 Amanda Portal Station, Call Queue Agent, PowerConnect,
Amanda Unified Messenger
5631-5632 pcAnywhere (default ports) for a direct IP connection
If your Amanda Portal system is behind a NAT such as a Linksys router, make sure to
forward packets on the appropriate ports to the Amanda Portal internal IP address.
Additionally, it’s usually easier assigning a static IP address to Amanda Portal as opposed
to using DHCP (a dynamic one).
Note: These ports are customizable within Amanda Portal’s setup utility “Configure”.
You can change the ports to be whatever ports you like using the following global
settings:
port_client 129
port_dtrigger 131
port_pop3 110
port_smtp 25
port_telnet 23
port_www 80
