Netvault uses port 20031 - 20106 NDMP -10000 The Network Manager is configured to use port 20031 to open TCP and UDP sockets on a client. If this port is being used by another application, the NetVault Backup Service fails immediately after startup. When this occurs, you must change the default port for Network Manager. To change the default port for Network Manager 1 Navigate to the \config directory, and open the file nvnmgr.cfg in a text editor. 2 Add the following lines to this file: [network] UdpPort= TcpPort= Set the same port number for both the TCP and UDP sockets. Ensure that the port is not in use by any other application. In a firewall-protected environment, ensure that the port is open and specified in the firewall settings for the client. For more information, see Configuring firewall settings. 3 Restart the NetVault Backup Service to apply the new settings. 4 Repeat steps 1–3 on the NetVault Backup Server and all clients.
