What are the Agent Handler ports on a firewall?

• A. 80 & 443
• B. 80 & 1433
• C. 21 & 443
• D. 25 & 110

Answer: (B)

Agent Handler serves as the intermediary that collects data from agents and forwards it to the ePO database. For this flow to work behind a firewall, you need to allow the web traffic that reaches the handler and the database connection from the handler to SQL Server. The standard ports covering this are 80 for HTTP web communication to the handler and 1433 for the SQL Server database connection. Opening these two ports enables agent data to reach the handler and be stored in the database. If HTTPS were used instead of HTTP, 443 would also be involved, but the common deployment cited uses 80 and 1433. The other port pairs correspond to different services (FTP, SMTP, POP3, etc.) and aren’t the typical Agent Handler ports.
