Network ports
HPE StoreEasy management console requires that you configure several ports for proper use and functionality. During the installation, you are provided with an opportunity to enable externally and internally accessible ports for use. You can choose to use the default ports and let the wizard configure the installation or set the ports manually. The Installer validates if these ports are free to use. If the selected port is in use, the IIS binding is removed and configured for HPE StoreEasy management console to use. For more information on configuring the port during installation, see Installing the HPE StoreEasy management console.

Apache https software is deployed by the HPE StoreEasy management console, in HPE StoreEasy 1000 Storage, to redirect network traffic from a single port (default 8443) externally accessible outside of firewall boundary.
All the other ports used by the HPE StoreEasy management console are internal ports that are not accessible from outside the firewall boundary.
