Veritas NetBackup™ Deduplication Guide

About MSDP port usage

The following table shows the ports that are used for NetBackup deduplication. If firewalls exist between the various deduplication hosts, open the indicated ports on the deduplication hosts. Deduplication hosts are the deduplication storage server, the load balancing servers, and the clients that deduplicate their own data.

If you have only a storage server and no load balancing servers or clients that deduplicate their own data: you do not have to open firewall ports.
