Change the SQL Server TCP/IP Ports

  • Hello room,

    I need to change the SQL Server 2005 and 2000 default TCP IP Port in order to establish a communications via firewall.

    The SQL Server 2005 TCP/IP port steps:

    Enclosed are my steps:

    1.Go to SQL Server Configuration Manager

    2.Expand the SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration

    3.Select the Protocol for the SQL Server instance

    4.Enabled the TCP/IP

    5.Right the TCP/IP protocol and go to properties

    6.Click on the IP Addresses tab

    IP 1

    •Active: Yes

    •Enabled: Yes

    •IP Address: 10.101.118.74

    •TCP Dynamic Port: Blank

    •TCP Port: 45611

    IP 2

    •Active: Yes

    •Enabled: Yes

    •IP Address: 10.101.118.74

    •TCP Dynamic Port: Blank

    •TCP Port: 45611

    IP 3

    •Active: Yes

    •Enabled: No

    •IP Address: 127.0.0.1

    •TCP Dynamic Port: Blank

    •TCP Port: 1433

    IP ALL

    •TCP Dynamic Port: Blank

    •TCP Port: 45611

    The SQL Server 2000 steps are:

    1.Bring up the SQL Server Client Network Utility

    2.Right click the TCP/IP properties

    3.Change default port to 45611

    Should the above steps sufficient to allow both SQL Servers established a communication pass through the firewall?

    Can someone advise?

    Thanks,

    Edwin

  • for the SQL2005 box leave IP1, Ip2, IP3 unset. Configure IP All with the port number and leave dynamic blank. Restart the instance
