Tip
Note If you enable Windows firewall, all the required inbound ports for Security Manager are blocked by
default. You must ensure that required ports are enabled and available for use by Security Manager and
its associated applications on your server so that the server can communicate with clients and servers
running associated applications. To find the list of ports that are required to be enabled in Windows
firewall, refer to "Required Services and Ports" in the "Requirements and Dependencies" chapter of the
Installation Guide for Cisco Security Manager 4.3 at the following URL:
