Questions about ports
Hi All,
Just a few questions, wondering if anyone could answer them.
1. Can Exchange server traffic to limited to specific range of port?
2. Is there a recommended range of ports by Microsoft to lock Exchange into?
3. If #2 is no, then how many ports are needed by Exchange (1, 10, 50?). Pick a high range ports say from (62,520+) to lock Exchange into.

If you mean for users It's hideously complex and completely unnecessary these days. All the user needs to access the CAS/FE (version??) is TCP443 (HTTPS). If you want to set VLANs to keep users away from BE/MBXs you can do that with
less grief. It is not supported to put a firewall between CAS/FE and BE/MBX.
