1 User-configurable.

2 You may need to manually set exceptions for ports 135 (DTC) and 1024-65535 (DCOM) if allowing MSDTC by application doesn't work.  You can restrict the firewall rules to just the involved server's IPs.

3 PostgreSQL should be installed locally on each Site Server, so firewall rules are typically not necessary

4 Necessary for Disk Preview jobs

5. Site Server in 8.0 uses port 54548 for SS to SS.  Public Port is 54545, Heartbeat Port is 54555 and Client Port is 54321


Important: Outbound ports should not be restricted in any way.
