NetXMS Support Forum

Hi,
as I saw documentation, it always says that NetXMS Agent uses by default port 4700, TCP and UDP.
As I see on my linux and windows servers, running NetXMS agent daemon only TCP is used.

For which purpose / when Agent uses/listens on incoming UDP 4700?

Thank you

Hi!

Agent cannot use UDP for communications. It's just standard practice to assign both tcp and udp port numbers - I didn't even request udp ports.

Best regards,
Victor

Documentation says that it needs tcp and udp. Sometimes it is hard to port forward both (some ISPs charge by port etc.)
Also, for example Windows Agent adds two firewall rules, seperate tcp and udp.

So to resime, UDP is not needed at all.

Thank you for info.
