Each range of ports is the possible range of ports that the particular machine 
is listening on for the service ports. So, the server will possibly have 
listening processes on all of the ports from 7937 - 7966. By having the full 
range of ports on the clients, they could use any of those ports for listening 
processes. However, clients will usually only listen on 7937 and 7938 unless 
something else is using those ports.

But if the server nsrports is 7937-7966 am i restricting the server to use of 
these ports only - for all clients?
  This setting was setup before i arrived so i am trying to determine if the 
site has now reached a point where the number of client backups is too great 
for the nsrports setting on the networker server.
  
  Thanks Michael.

  I don't believe it would cause a problem, but for consistency I would set all 
the clients to the same range. The port range is a RAP value associated with 
the client, so the server should be able to look up the value for a given 
client.

Subject: [Networker] use of nsrports command



How does the nsrports command work in an environment where some clients are 
behind a firewall and others are not? Do I need to set the nsrports command on 
the clients that are not behind a firewall?

For example, the clients behind the firewall are using the command nsrports -S 
7937-7941 and the firewall rule is setup appropriately. The Networker server is 
using nsrports -S 7937-7966 and the firewall rule is setup appropriately.

But clients that are not behind firewalls are using the default nsrports of 
7937-9936. How does the nsrports setting on the networker server and the 
default setting on the clients work correctly when the client range is much 
larger?

Thanks, Mark
