Need misc ports used with NFS

Thaidog · 08-24-2008, 03:48 PM

So I know that port 2049 is NFS and that portmap listens on port 111, but there are some other ports that need to be open as well... I think it is a range of ports that rpc and maybe another protocol run on that are dynamic. I need that port range and I can not find it on google.

Anybody know these ports?

Come on guys... did I really stump the entire Linux community with this one?

Only port 111 needs to be opened in the firewall. You are confusing listening ports with ports you establish yourself which don't need to opened if your firewall as an established and related rule.
