Novell NetWare 5.x

Compatibility Mode Driver

TCP Connection

symptom

UDP vs TCP over CMD

fix

There is no way to modify the protocol used for CMD communication. Following is an explanation of the ports and protocols used:

The ports that need to be opened for CMD communication are UDP 2645 and TCP 2302.

All communication destined for an IPX device through a Migration Agent (MA) will use UDP packets.

Devices communicating to the MA for information on services available and routes to those services will use the following protocols:

5.0 server running SCMD to MA - TCP
Client running CMD to MA - UDP
MA to MA - UDP
