SuSE Firewall is Blocking BES Traffic - BES Client
| 0 Votes |
Description
| The listed computers are using SuSEfirewall2 and are not configured to allow inbound UDP traffic on the port used by BES (BES uses port 52311 by default). The BES Server and BES Relays send UDP packets to the BES Clients to notify them that there is new information available such as new Fixlet messages, actions, and computer refreshes. BES Clients on relevant computers will not receive UDP notification packets and therefore will not see new actions or new Fixlet messages until they gather the new actionsite, which is by default, once a day. After configuring iptables to allow inbound UDP traffic on the BES Listen Port, BES Clients will resume normal communication with the BES Server and BES Relays. Note: After this action is applied, affected BES Clients will not report until they have performed their standard once-per-day gather or until the BES Client is restarted. Note: Configuration changes made to SuSEfirewall2 will include port 52311 to the FW_SERVICES_EXT_UDP zone. |
