Enabling the Firewall rules in the Hyper-V Replica Server

Posted on Author Marcos Nogueira 0

On a standalone Replica server, if Kerberos based authentication is used, follow these steps to make the required exception in the Windows Firewall:

  1. 1.      Open Windows Firewall with Advance Security and click on Inbound Rules
  2. 2.      Right-click on Hyper-V Replica HTTP Listener (TCP-In) and click Enable Rule

On a standalone Replica server, if Certificate based authentication is used, follow these steps to make the required exception in Windows Firewall:

  1. 1.      Open Windows Firewall with Advance Security and click on Inbound Rules
  2. 2.      Right-click on Hyper-V Replica HTTPS Listener (TCP-In) and click Enable Rule

The corresponding netsh commands to enable the Firewall rules are:

netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group=“Hyper-V Replica HTTP” new enable=yes

Or

netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group=“Hyper-V Replica HTTPS” new enable=yes

 

If the Replica server is part of a Failover Cluster, run the following command from any node in the cluster to enable the firewall rules in all the nodes in the cluster

get-clusternode | ForEach-Object  {Invoke-command -computername $_.name -scriptblock {Enable-Netfirewallrule -displayname “Hyper-V Replica HTTP Listener (TCP-In)”}}

Or

get-clusternode | ForEach-Object  {Invoke-command -computername $_.name -scriptblock {Enable-Netfirewallrule -displayname “Hyper-V Replica HTTPS Listener (TCP-In)”}}
