Port and Protocol Requirements
Network Collection Engine (NCE) installations are typically deployed when CCUs are on the
Internet, the Fixed Network web server is in a DMZ, and the Fixed Network database server is in
the corporate intranet. The following illustration is a simple diagram of the network topology.
Note: The Network Administrative Application (NAA) server may be hosted on the same
server as the database server.
Logical Architecture of Fixed Network (Multiple Network
Zones)
This diagram, while accurate, simplifies the situation considerably and is not a useful format for
formulating firewall rules. The following information describes the ports and protocols required
for Fixed Network operations in greater detail.
