Question

You have configured a new web server in your network, which will be used only from the local network. You published the website on TCP port 8443 but are unable to access the website on that port from a client device. You are able to ping the server IP address and also have access to the server using a Remote Desktop Connection. What could be the cause of this issue?

There is no static route pointing to the server on the router

1.Windows firewall is enabled, and port 8443 is not allowing traffic
2.NAT is not configured correctly
3.Server is placed in the wrong VLAN
4. Microsoft Edge browser is configured incorrectly on the client device

Answer 1

2. NAT is not configured correctly

Step-by-step explanation:

a server may be running multiple web servers. What happens in either load balancers is routing the traffic for you or a firewall rules are redirecting you. Virtually every web site you talk to has a load balancer or CDN in front of it which masks the actual web server port.
