4.0 Primary Servers

The following table contains information on the default ports used by the ZENworks Primary Server:

Item	Ports	Requirement	Configurable	Firewall Requirement	Additional Details
Firewall Settings: TCP bound Ports	443	Mandatory	Yes	Open TCP Port	This port is used by the API Gateway service to serve incoming agent requests. This port is used to upload the collection data, such as inventory and system messages from the managed device to the Primary Server. This port is also used for CASA authentication. Opening this port allows ZENworks to manage devices outside of the firewall. It is a good practice to make sure that the network is configured to always allow communication on this port between the ZENworks Server and ZENworks Agents on managed devices. If other services are running on this port, such as Apache, the installation program asks you for new ports to use. If you plan to use AdminStudio ZENworks Edition, it requires that the Primary Server is using this port. Primary Servers functioning as Ondemand Content Masters download patch content via this port. Ensure that the Primary Server’s firewall rules provide the exceptions listed in Enabling Firewall Access to Patch Vendor URLs in ZENworks Patch Management Reference. In addition, Primary Servers functioning as Patch Servers use this port for license verification. Ensure that the Primary Server is configured to allow license verification as described in Configuring the Patch Server in ZENworks Patch Management Reference. Primary Server performs the ZENworks System Update Entitlement activation over HTTP (port 443) using the secure-www.novell.com website. This rule can be turned off after successfully completing the entitlement activation. For more information, see the ZENworks System Updates Reference
					Primary Server downloads system update related information and content over HTTP (port 443) using the nu.novell.com website. For more information see Managing Update Downloads in the ZENworks System Updates Reference NOTE:You must assign the Network Interface to the firewall zone. Firewall rules are applied to this zone for managing the ports used by ZENworks.
	443 and 2197	Required	No	Open TCP port	Used by ZENworks MDM Servers to communicate with the Apple Push Notification service (APNs). Used for CASA authentication. It is a good practice to make sure that the network is configured to always allow communication on this port between the ZENworks Server and ZENworks Agents on managed devices when port 443 is busy.
	998	Required	No	Open TCP port	Used by the Preboot Server (novell-pbserv). The Preboot Server (novell-pbserv) is used only with ZENworks Configuration Management.
