If you are protecting a Linux machine with a firewall, you must configure the firewall to allow communication with the Unitrends backup system before you can register the Linux machine as a client. Follow the instructions below to perform the necessary configurations.
1 Modify the Linux machine’s firewall settings to allow ports 1743 and 1745.
2 Open a terminal or text editor with root access and log in as root.
3 Run the following command:
/usr/bp/bin/bputil -p “Configuration Options” data 1745 /usr/bp/bpinit/master.ini
For more information about how the Unitrends backup system uses ports, see Open ports and security levels.
4 Register the Linux machine using the instructions described in Working with Linux clients .
