Supported Configurations document at . Record this information in Table A-12 in the Appendix. Measure the available bandwidth on these connections by requesting the average available bandwidth during peak usage periods. Record this information in Table in the Appendix. Compare the required bandwidth against the available bandwidth to determine whether additional bandwidth will be required, and record this in Table A-12 in the Appendix. Task 2: Determine Network Port Requirements The goal of this task is to map the supported firewall scenarios to the locations of the in order to identify the network ports that must be opened. The network ports required for communication depend on the placement of server roles throughout the network. To determine firewall port requirements, review server placement decisions from Steps 6 and 7 and compare them with the port requirements in Operations Manager 2007 R2 Supported Configurations at . This will establish which ports need to be opened on firewalls in the environment. Record the network port requirements in Table A-12 in the Appendix. Step Summary The goals of this step are to ensure that network connectivity between server roles and between server roles and agents is sufficient in terms of network bandwidth and that the required firewall rules are in place to allow traffic to flow as necessary. In this step, the following data was used to determine network bandwidth and network port requirements: Data collected in Step 1 on network topology and inventory of resources in scope for monitoring. Server role distribution, determined in Step 6. Database role distribution, decided in Step 7. Reporting infrastructure requirements from Step 10. The output of this step was a containing the bandwidth requirements between physical network sites as well as the network ports that must be opened through network firewalls. Table A-12 in the Appendix was used to record the information in this step. This information is used in the implementation phase of the project to identify necessary changes in network firewalls as well as any network links requiring additional network bandwidth to support the minimum requirements of Operations Manager 2007.
