The following table lists the ports for network security group settings required to deploy Trellix vIPS in the Azure environment. For more information about ports used by the IPS, see KB59342.
| Ports | Purpose | Source/Destination | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Manager | Inbound rules | 8501–8504, 8506–8510 | TCP ports used to install the Sensor, send alerts and packet captures to the Manager, and transfer files between them. | Sensor |
| 9798 | TCP port used to communicate Probe state and configuration. This is applicable only when the local Controller is used. | Probe, Sensor | ||
