Port numbers

If connecting Deep Security Manager, Relay, or Agents through a:

  • firewall or AWS/Azure/NSX Security Group
  • router
  • proxy
  • other network address translation (NAT) device

you'll need to know the required domain names or IP addresses, ports, and protocols.

Firewall policies, proxies, and port forwarding often require this information. This is especially true for connections to services on the Internet, such as DNS, time servers, the Trend Micro Active Update servers, Trend Micro Smart Protection Network, and Deep Security as a Service. If a computer has other installed software that listens on the same ports, you must resolve the port conflict.

Default port numbers are in these tables. If the default port numbers don't work with your network or installation, you have a proxy, or if you require SSL or TLS secured versions of the traffic, the tables indicate if you can configure it.
