Unable to launch Fabric Insight Portal [ Edited ]

[k_saul]

I have  build a new server to  host the CMCNE as the old server is EOW. 

The configuration completed succesfully.  I am able to launch Fabric Insight Portal from the new server. But am unable to lauch from any other server or desktop.  Like am able to open locally , not globally.

Do we need to configure any other settings to launch the Fabric Insight Portal from my desktop / any other server. ?

No, we haven't configured AMP.

Thanks for  the response. 

My question is, 

-- I can launch the fabric insight portal from the server I hosted the CMCNE ( Windows Server)

-- I  am not able to  launch the Fabric insight portal from my desktop. something is preventing the communication . Or I doubt I miss some configuration steps, which will help to launch the GUI from any desktop with in the network.

I guess that firewall is blocking ports. Because of that you may reach FI only locally.

[k_saul]

yes, you are right. the Firewall was the problem. By default it was showing 80 and 443 is  open and listening. but when I did a test , it was failing. 

Starting portqry.exe -n 10.195.1.153 -e 443 -p TCP ...

Querying target system called:

10.195.1.153

Attempting to resolve IP address to a name...

IP address resolved to **filtered**.**filtered**.**filtered**.com

querying...

TCP port 443 (https service): FILTERED
portqry.exe -n 10.195.1.153 -e 443 -p TCP exits with return code 0x00000002.

So we need to add the firewall rule . 

rem Open TCP Port 443 inbound and outbound
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Zoo TCP Port 443" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=443
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Zoo TCP Port 443" dir=out action=allow protocol=TCP localport=443
