Re: [Networker] How to calculate the 'C' for service port range in firew

Hi,

"C" is the maximum no. of clients to be backed up at a time i.e. say you
backup 3 groups with 2 clients each, C would mean six.

Take the maximum no. at any given time and calculate ports accordingly.

Subject: [Networker] How to calculate the 'C' for service port range in
firewalls?

Hello,

Tech Bulletin #388 explains that is possible to reduce the number of open
ports for client and server services.

The formula for service port range (in 7.1.3) is 2 + 3 + 2T + C.

In our environment, I know that T = 4 because I have 4 tape drives but the
"C" is "the maximum number of clients that can be backed up at any one
time".

How can I know this value? Is something related to client/server
parallelism? Or is the maximum number of clients in the group?

Thank you very much.
