Is there a way to Restrict Commcell Console and Command Center access only from the Jump servers IPs without affecting the existing backup operations? 

We have a multiple vCenter that is communicating with commvault to backup the VMs. If I create a firewall rule that will only allow access from the Jumpservers, would that affect the backup/restore operations? TIA!

Hi ​@RlpCVVnt ,

To restrict access to the CommCell Console and Command Center to specific IP addresses, such as Jump servers, you can configure firewall rules to limit network traffic to the necessary ports:

  1. CommCell Console: Limit access to port 8401 on the CommServe machine.
  2. Command Center: Limit access to port 443 on the Command Center machine.

Ensure that the firewall rules are configured to permit access exclusively from the IP addresses of the Jump servers for these ports. This configuration should not impact backup or restore operations, as long as the rules do not inadvertently block other essential services that rely on these ports.

For detailed instructions on configuring firewall rules, refer to How to Create Advanced Firewall Rules.
