services. Users should also have access to all ports. These are the ports used by Fabric Manager Server
and the PostgreSQL database: 1098, 1099, 4444, 4445, 8009, 8083, 8090, 8092, 8093, 514, 5432.
For switches running Cisco MDS 9000 FabricWare, you must install Fabric Manager from the CD-ROM
included with your switch, or you can download Fabric Manager from Cisco.com.
