Table 5‑4. Ports Opened During View Connection Server Installation (Continued)
Protocol Ports View Connection Server Instance Type
HTTP TCP 80 Standard, replica, and security server
HTTPS TCP 443 Standard, replica, and security server
PCoIP TCP 4172 in;
UDP 4172 both
directions
Standard, replica, and security server
HTTPS TCP 8443 Standard, replica, and security server.
After the initial connection to View is made, the Web browser on a client device
connects to the Blast Secure Gateway on TCP port 8443. The Blast Secure Gateway
must be enabled on a security server or View Connection Server instance to allow
this second connection to take place.
HTTPS TCP 8472 Standard and replica
For the Cloud Pod Architecture feature: used for interpod communication.
HTTP TCP 22389 Standard and replica
For the Cloud Pod Architecture feature: used for global LDAP replication.
HTTPS TCP 22636 Standard and replica
For the Cloud Pod Architecture feature: used for secure global LDAP replication.
Firewall Rules for View Agent
The View Agent installation program opens certain TCP ports on the firewall. Ports are incoming unless
otherwise noted.
Table 5‑5. TCP Ports Opened During View Agent Installation
Protocol Ports
RDP 3389
USB redirection 32111
MMR 9427
PCoIP 4172 (TCP and UDP)
The View Agent installation program configures the local firewall rule for inbound RDP connections to
match the current RDP port of the host operating system, which is typically 3389. If you change the RDP
port number, you must change the associated firewall rules.
If you instruct the View Agent installation program to not enable Remote Desktop support, it does not open
ports 3389 and 32111, and you must open these ports manually.
If you use a virtual machine template as a desktop source, firewall exceptions carry over to deployed
desktops only if the template is a member of the desktop domain. You can use Microsoft group policy
settings to manage local firewall exceptions. See the Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) article 875357 for more
information.
