Run rpcinfo -p and you can see what you are using.

Subject: [aix-l] NFS through firewall

Hi,

I need to make a NFS server (under AIX) run behind a firewall. Which ports
should I open?

I know that some ports are fixed (nfsd always listen the 2049 tcp/udp port),
but mountd, for
instance, binds to a random port and tells portmap about that.
Is there a way to fix these ports? If not, is there at least a known range
on which these processes listens to?

Thank you
