Inbound TCP Port for Windows Admin Center Gateway
Question
Your company has a main office and a branch office. The two offices are connected by using a WAN link. Each office contains a firewall that filters WAN traffic.
The network in the branch office contains 10 servers that run Windows Server. All servers are administered from the main office only.
You plan to manage the servers in the branch office by using a Windows Admin Center gateway.
On a server in the branch office, you install the Windows Admin Center gateway by using the defaults settings.
You need to configure the firewall in the branch office to allow the required inbound connection to the Windows Admin Center gateway.
Which inbound TCP port should you allow?

A. B. C. D.A
To manage the servers in the branch office by using a Windows Admin Center gateway, you need to allow inbound connections to the Windows Admin Center gateway from the main office through the WAN link.
Windows Admin Center gateway uses a web-based interface that uses HTTPS protocol to connect to servers. By default, the Windows Admin Center gateway listens on TCP port 6516 for HTTPS traffic. Therefore, you should allow inbound TCP port 6516 through the firewall in the branch office to allow the required inbound connection to the Windows Admin Center gateway.
Option A (443) is the default port for HTTPS traffic, but it is not the port used by the Windows Admin Center gateway by default.
Option B (3389) is the default port for Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), which is used for remote desktop connections to servers, but it is not used by the Windows Admin Center gateway.
Option C (5985) is the default port for Windows Remote Management (WinRM) protocol, which is used by PowerShell Remoting and other remote management tools, but it is not used by the Windows Admin Center gateway.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D (6516).
