ANM uses specific ports for its processes. Figure A-1 illustrates a typical ANM server deployment in a network. This illustration identifies the protocols and ports used by the different network devices in a typical deployment.
•Table A-1 lists the ports used for ANM client (browser) or ANM server and ANM high availability communication.
•Table A-2 lists the ports used for communication between ANM and managed devices.
