Linksys EA6900 /Gateway/ Blocked Ports/Symantec BackupExec
So i am using a Linksys EA6900 as the gateway to my mid sized domain environment. I recently installed Symantec Backup Exec 2015 in my 2012r2 server. Now we have run into issues with installing probes on remote machines. According to Symantec tech support. The probes run on port 10000 and believe the linksys router is blocking it. Does anyone know how i can unlock a port on the linksys EA6900 router? Thank you.

So to open up a port on the Linksys Router is a matter of just setting up port forwarding? Thanks for your help.
Port forward is .. open port from WAN to LAN ... so, your traffic, let's say on port 80 is, forward to server (or any other host).
No ports are closed on LAN in most cases.

so the port that i need to open is port 10000. So the way you setup the port forwarding is from the client pc port 10000 to the server port 10000.. dont have much experience with port forwarding..

so application name would be BackupExec, External Port 10000, internal port 10000 protocol both and all ips?

No. You can port forward to all IPs, only to one. That is from WAN to LAN (so, there can be only One :) )
if you have that problem while you are in local network I don't think port is issue (at least not switch blocking port), except in case that you created a part of network as guest network so it could is isolated network (if it is supported option on this router)

Did you check is your server is really listening on port 10000 (or hosts - whoever needs to listen on port 10000)?
cmd -> netstat -a
you can use
netstat -a -n
to avoid name resolution

This is what i see
TCP 0.0.0.0:10000 Genesis:0 Listening
TCP 0.0.0.0:10000 Genesis:0 Listening

So this is what im doing as well. I open up the command line. and type
telnet hmr363 10000
hmr363 is the client pc name. It keeps failing. Symantec BackupExec tells me that there is somthing blocking the connection from the server to the client on port 10000. I need to open up that connection.

This is good
Did you try to telnet to server on port 10000?
