EMC has released a very good reference document for this topic, and it's much too detailed to include here. The documents are available via Powerlink, which does require a login. So get yourself a free Powerlink login and click on the following link(s).

7.3 Document entitled "Configuring Network Firewalls for a NetWorker Server" P/N 300-005-739

The document below also pops up if you search on NetWorker and firewalls, and the search says it's called "388: Using Firewalls with NetWorker Server Release 6.1.3 and Later," The actual document says "This bulletin describes the difference required in the number of ports for NetWorker version 7.3, 7.2.x, 7.1.x and earlier." For NetWorker 7.3, the above document is a better resource. For 6.1.3 - 7.2, the document below would be a better resource."
