Note: The UDP port number that agents use for PCoIP might change. If port 50002 is in use, the agent will pick 50003. If port 50003 is in use, the agent will pick port 50004, and so on. You must configure firewalls with
ANY where an asterisk (*) is listed in the table.
Source | Port | Target | Port | Protocol | Description |
