Network ports needed for K2000 appliance operation

If the customer has a firewall between the K2000 and the clients they are trying to push an operating system to, the following ports need to be open:

80 -- HTTP

139 -- SAMBA share

135 -- SAMBA share

445 -- SAMBA share (Direct-hosted SMB traffic without a network basic input/output system (NetBIOS): port 445 (TCP and UDP).

22 -- SSH (outbound only for tethers)

22 -- SSH for syncing to RSA and single sign-on

389 -- LDAP (if using LDAP authentication)

636 -- LDAPS (if using secure LDAP authentication)

67 -- DHCP

69 -- TFTP

4011 -- PXE

8108 -- Media Manager

These ports also cover communication between the K2000 and an RSA.

The customer will also need to ensure that the routers / firewalls are setup to allow DHCP to traverse them (BootP protocol) if clients span across them.

K2000 does not have a built-in firewall. The K2000 is not recommended for DMZ operations, only for operation on the internal network.
