In order for Royal Server to work the following ports need to be open:
1) From Royal TS/X to Royal Server
For Management Connections (based on http/https) the port configured in “Royal Server - Service Configuration” in the Configuration Tool
Default: 54899
For Secure Gateway Connections (based on the Secure Shell protocol) the port configured in “Secure Gateway - Gateway Configuration” in the Configuration Tool
Default: 22
Please be aware that Secure Gateway connections are using secure tunnels that require dynamic high ports open on the client side (where Royal TS is running)
2) From Royal Server to Managed Servers
The communication between Royal Server and the managed servers are different depending on the used module and the configuration in Royal TS/X.
Most of the modules are working with WMI and thus need dynamic high ports.
Modules based on WMI are:
- Windows EventLog
- Windows Processes
- Windows Services
- Hyper-V Management
These modules can be configured in Royal TS/X to use CIM as transportation mechanism which is using http/https on the default ports 5988 (http) and 5989 (https).
The Terminal Services module is using proprietary technology of Microsoft and also using high, dynamic ports.
The VMware module is using PowerCLI which internally is using https to communicate with vCenter/ESXi hosts with the default port 443.
The Script (PowerShell) module is using PowerShell remoting which is using port 5985 by default.
