Opened Ports

Posted on by 60

What ports should be open for a Front-end Back-end setup?  We have really slow reporting and report writer freezes when using RDWeb

    Hi

    All you have to do is specify inbound and outbound ports with SL default port 1433 and create an inbound rule to allow Sqlserver.exe to be accessed through the firewall.

    OUTBOUND PORT

    1. In the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security, in the left pane, right-click Outbound Rules, and then click New Rule in the action pane.

    2. In the Rule Type dialog box, select Port, and then click Next.

    3. In the Protocol and Ports dialog box, select TCP. Select Specific local ports, and then type the port number of the instance of the Database Engine, such as 1433 for the default instance. Click Next.

    4. In the Action dialog box, select Allow the connection, and then click Next.

    5. In the Profile dialog box, select any profiles that describe the computer connection environment when you want to connect to the Database Engine, and then click Next.

    6. In the Name dialog box, type a name and description for this rule, and then click Finish.

    INBOUND PORT

    1. In the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security, in the left pane, right-click Inbound Rules, and then click New Rule in the action pane.

    2. In the Rule Type dialog box, select Port, and then click Next.

    3. In the Protocol and Ports dialog box, select TCP. Select Specific local ports, and then type the port number of the instance of the Database Engine, such as 1433 for the default instance. Click Next.

    4.In the Action dialog box, select Allow the connection, and then click Next.

    5. In the Profile dialog box, select any profiles that describe the computer connection environment when you want to connect to the Database Engine, and then click next. In the Name dialog box, type a name and description for this rule, and then click Finish.

    INBOUND RULE FOR SQLSERVER.EXE TO BE ACCESSED

    1.In the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security, in the left pane, right-click Inbound Rules, and then click New Rule in the action pane.

    2.In the Rule Type dialog box, select Program, and then click Next.

    3. In the Program dialog box, select This program path. Click Browse, and navigate to the instance of SQL Server that you want to access through the firewall, and then click Open. By default, SQL Server is at: C:ProgramFilesMicrosoftSQLServerMSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLBinnSqlservr.exe.

    4.Click Next.

    5. In the Action dialog box, select Allow the connection, and then click Next.

    6. In the Profile dialog box, select any profiles that describe the computer connection environment when you want to connect to the Database Engine, and then click Next.

    7. In the Name dialog box, type a name and description for this rule, and then click Finish.

    This should clear up the problem.

    Hope this Helps

    Thanks & Regards
