Ports for the Receive and Send Servers

For complete information about securing your BizTalk Server deployment, see Sample BizTalk Server Architectures.

The following table lists the ports you must configure for the receive and send servers to access the services they need. The firewall on which you need to open the ports depends on where the destination server is in your architecture. You must open these ports both for inbound and outbound traffic.
