HP Device Manager 4.6 - Installation and Update Guide

Firewall settings for HP Device Manager

The basic ports used by HPDM for management traffic between the HPDM Server, HPDM Gateway, and HPDM Agent are

located in the range of 40000–40009 and 40012.

To configure the necessary exceptions:

1. Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. If not logged on as Administrator, be sure to right-click

Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator.

2. To add an inbound rule to allow UDP traffic on port 40000, enter the following command and then press Enter:

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="HP Device Manager UDP IN"

action=allow protocol=UDP dir=in localport=40000

3. To add an outbound rule to allow UDP traffic on port 40000, enter the following command and then press Enter:

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="HP Device Manager UDP OUT"

action=allow protocol=UDP dir=out localport=40000

4. To add an inbound rule to allow TCP traffic on ports 40001–40009 and 40012, enter the following command and then

press Enter:

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="HP Device Manager TCP IN"

action=allow protocol=TCP dir=in localport=40001-40009,40012

5. To add an outbound rule to allow TCP traffic on ports 40001–40009 and 40012, enter the following command and

then press Enter:

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="HP Device Manager TCP OUT"

action=allow protocol=TCP dir=out localport=40001-40009,40012

After following these steps, the HPDM Server and HPDM Agents can connect to and transfer files to and from the FTP site

created for the repository. Also, the ports used for HPDM traffic are opened up on the Windows Firewall. Other ports might

be needed for other specific tasks. See the HP Device Manager 4.6 Administrator Guide for a complete list of ports used by

HPDM.
