Accept Connections on Non-reserved Ports

The Accept Connections on Non-reserved Ports property specifies that the NetBackup client service (bpcd) can accept remote connections from nonprivileged ports (port numbers 1024 or greater). If this property is not specified, bpcd requires remote connections to come from privileged ports (port numbers less than 1024). Accept Connections on Non-reserved Ports is useful when NetBackup clients and servers are on opposite sides of a firewall.

When unchecked (default), this also means that the source ports for connections to bpcd use reserved ports as well.

If Accept Connections on Non-reserved Ports is checked on a client or server, and you want to use non-reserved ports, the server connecting to the client or server must also be set up to use non-reserved ports for the client.

In addition to changing Accept Connections on Non-reserved Ports here, specify that the server use nonreserved ports for this client: select Accept Connections from Non-reserved Ports on the server properties Client attributes tab.
