Ports & protocols
- To execute the job, the necessary outgoing and incoming ports must be enabled on the server, the switch, and all intermediate network devices. By default, these include the SSH and TFTP ports.
- Only one switch at a time can be accessed via the TFTP port. To back up multiple switches simultaneously, configure a unique TFTP port for each switch. You can increase the maximum number of parallel uploads in the
Upload\AgentStation.inifile.
