Network ports

Enterprise Server ports

Inbound ports

The following table lists the default enterprise server ports. It is best practice to deny inbound traffic at the firewall for any ports not needed by the Code42 configuration.

Port forwarding
You can use port forwarding, also called port mapping, to avoid port conflicts and port restrictions within your Code42 environment and on other networks.
Port(s) Protocol Source Destination Description
4282 TCP
  • LAN networks
  • Internet

Your Master server
  • Backup and sync traffic from internal and external endpoints
