Ports needed by ePolicy Orchestrator for communication through a firewall

Summary

The following tables display the ports needed by ePO for communication through a firewall.

For the purpose of this article:
  • Bi-directional means that a connection can be initiated from either direction.
  • Inbound means the connection is initiated by a remote system.
  • Outbound means the connection can be initiated by the local system.
PortDefaultDescriptionTraffic direction
Agent-server communication port80TCP port that the ePO server service uses to receive requests from agents.Inbound connection to the Agent Handler and the ePO server from the McAfee Agent. Inbound connection to the ePO server from the remote Agent Handler.
Agent-server communication secure port

Software Manager, Product Compatibility List, and License Manager port
443TCP port that the ePO server service uses to receive requests from agents and remote Agent Handlers.
TCP port that the ePO server's Software Manager uses to connect to McAfee.
