Firewall ports for SMARTS
We have a very secure environment that SA and FlexLM server is in one network and IP is in another. The firewall rules are strict and they have been blocking the upper ports from getting through. The issue is when IP tries to get a license from FLM, the firewall is blocking the port. As I'm researching this I'm finding a lot of ports that are not in the documentation (that I can find) trying to get back/forth from the application trying to communicate, all are ports that were not assigned when deploying SMARTS.
Is there a document that shows the ports the application needs to communicate internally?
Example is FLM. I have it set up on 1746, but the port being blocked is 52205, this is the port that seems to be blocked that is keeping my IP domain from getting a license and operating.
The firewall shows the destination being the SAM server from source IP server.
Destination Port:
22
33519
33840
52205
60643
Source Port list is too long to display. But starts at 32768 and stops at 61000. It seems to count up as it makes requests of the SA server.
Do all of these ports need to be allowed through the firewall, and is there a finite list or group that is known?

It seems that our License file does not include the line below, can I add this to set the vendor daemon to a specific port?
SERVER this_host xxxxxxx 1744
VENDOR sm_lmgrd92 port=56111

Hello.
The following KB can answer this question for you.
330224 : Smarts: How to enable Smarts licensing to function through a firewall https://support.emc.com/kb/330224
The flexlm license manager (lmgrd), which starts on port 1744 by default, starts the VENDOR daemon (sm_lmgrd or sm_lmgrd92) on a random port, which will usually be blocked by a firewall.
Resolution
To allow the Smarts licensing to function through the firewall do the following:
Locate the Smarts license file.
Add the following to the end of the line which starts with VENDOR port=
VENDOR port=56111
Restart the license server.
