Webroot Enterprise System Administrator Guide 61
A: Webroot Enterprise Port
Requirements
A number of communication ports must be opened for proper communications between all
network components within the Webroot Enterprise architecture. Table 11 describes the port
requirements for a Webroot Enterprise installation.
The aim of this information is not to document how to open all of these ports for a particular
firewall, but rather to describe what ports must be open and on what systems within your Webroot
Enterprise architecture.
