Welcome to the Cisco Support Community Ask the Expert conversation.
Learn and ask questions about Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS) Central.

Starts November 7th, through 21st

As organizations scale their Cisco UCS infrastructure, managing it consistently with global policies is ever more important. Cisco UCS Central manages multiple Cisco UCS instances (or domains) across globally distributed data centers, allowing IT departments to enjoy the benefits of simplified, unified management of compute, network, and storage access resources. This is an opportunity to learn and ask questions about basics of Cisco UCS Central tool and its application.

Hello Payal, What are the ports that need to be open between UCSM and UCS central?

892    (TCP/UDP ) for firmware management and back up

875    (TCP/UDP ) for firmware management and back up

32805 (TCP/UDP ) for firmware management and back up

2049   (TCP/UDP ) for firmware management and back up

111   (TCP/UDP ) for firmware management and back up

843   (TCP) Communication between client browser and Cisco UCS Central.

hi.. My UCS Central browser intermittently disconnects with error "Fatal Communication Error". MY UCS Central version is 1.1.1a. Can you tell me the issue?

Looks like you are running into defect CSCul73279.
