goal

What ports does NDPS use?

fact

Novell NetWare 5.1

Novell Distributed Print Services 2.1

symptom

Workstations can't see Public Access printers.

Workstations can't see Controlled Access printers.

When port filtering is implemented on routers, various NDPS features do not work.

cause

The following is a complete list of IP and SPX ports that NDPS uses:


Broker Service:
IP - 3014/tcp
SPX - 37043

Used for events such as requesting a NDPS Broker shutdown, to enable/disable the ENS, RMS, or SRS service.


Broker ENS:
IP - 3016/tcp
SPX - 37045

Used by the NDPS Broker Event Notification Service (ENS) for registration and notification of NDPS events.


Broker Notify/Listen:
IP - 3017/tcp
SPX - 37047

Used for programmatic printer event notification (for example, Directed Pop-Up notification, or applications designed to register for NDPS-specific notifications).


Broker SRS:
IP - 3018/tcp
SPX - 37044

Used by the NDPS Broker Service Registry Service (SRS) for querying and updating information on availability and location of NDPS services.


Broker RMS:
IP - 3019/tcp
SPX - 37046

Used by the NDPS Broker Resource Management Service (RMS) for resource querying and download (such as Windows printer drivers).


NDPS Manager/PA:
IP - 3396/tcp
SPX - 37042

Used by the NDPS Manager (NDPSM.NLM) and NDPS Printer Agents for activities such as receiving print jobs, requesting status, etc...

fix

Ensure that all routers have forwarding of the above ports enabled to allow NDPS to communicate for all Broker and Manager functions.
