TCP/IP Port Usage
The various iControl services require access to specific ports. The tables below describe the
ports used in a multi-site configuration. In networks where a firewall is present between
device A and device B, the ports used to communicate from device A to device B must be
open on the incoming (external) side of the firewall.
