Firewall Rules for View Connection Server
Certain incoming TCP ports must be opened on the firewall for View Connection Server instances and security
servers.
When you install View Connection Server on Windows Server 2008, the installation program can optionally
configure the required Windows firewall rules for you. When you install View Connection Server on Windows
Server 2003, you must configure the required Windows firewall rules manually.

Firewall Rules for View Agent
The View Agent installation program opens certain TCP ports on the firewall. Ports are incoming unless
otherwise noted.

HP RGS
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.
The HP RGS Sender application is the server-side component of the HP RGS remote display protocol. HP RGS
Sender uses port 42966 by default.
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.
