Follow the steps to open Nutanix port for inbound connections.
Step 1 – On a target computer navigate to Start > Control Panel and select Windows Firewall.
Step 2 – In the Help Protect your computer with Windows Firewall page, click Advanced settings on the left.
Step 3 – In the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security dialog, select Inbound Rules on the left.
Step 4 – Click New Rule. In the New Inbound Rule wizard, complete the steps as described below.
| Option | Setting |
|---|---|
| Rule Type | Port |

When you add the first item (Nutanix SMB shares) to the Nutanix monitoring plan, you will be suggested to use port 9898. For the next Nutanix SMB shares added as an item, you should specify a different TCP port and configure it for inbound connections, as described above.
