Configuring CE Firewall Policies
Firewalls and Contact Expert
Contact Expert components might allocate TCP/UDP server ports dynamically by default. However change these to static ports if and when required. The following table lists the configuration files locating the definition of these ports for specific components. The table also lists the default static ports.
Adding and Removing Firewall Rules
You can run Add-CEFirewallRules and Remove-CEFirewallRules cmdlets on the CE application servers (CE Core Hosts) and agent workstations to add or remove CE specific rules to Windows firewall. These cmdlets read the configuration files listed in the table below and sets firewall rules accordingly.
You need to run these cmdlets (Remove-CEFirewallRules first, then Add-CEFirewallRules) whenever any network related settings are changed in the CE configuration files or whenever new CE roles are installed.
Note
Running these cmdlets on a CE application server requires restarting the entire application server. Otherwise, changes made in Windows firewall configuration might not take effect.
