Hello! We’re seeing lots of connections (to/from the local machine named XMPP1) in the upper ports 54100-55xxx range. This is a Windows 2016 physical host with SQL Server 2017 Standard for OpenFire database. The OpenFire chat features are working is working fine, but we can’t seem to find the reason for these ports being used. This is blocking access by Veeam and other tools we need to secure and backup the system. Any idea what these connections are, and/or how to assign them to another chunk of ports?
Here is a snipit of NetStat -b on the Windows server:
