Firewall configuration for 07-07/10-10 migration

Adding a farm requires the same configuration as described in Help.
For 07-07 migration different firewall configuration is required:

1. When creating a migration job the BrowserBroker service connnects to the remote BrowserAgent service.
Their ports can be found in the "server.socket_port" variable in the following files:
Quest Software\Migration Manager for SharePoint\Web Interface\SharePoint Browser\SPInfo.conf - for BrowserAgent port
Quest Software\Migration Manager for SharePoint\Web Interface\SharePoint Browser\SPInfoBroker.conf - for BrowserBroker port.

So, from a server with console the outbond connection for the Broker service should be allowed, on a server without console - inbound connection for the Agent service.

2. Source and Target serivces on the corresponding servers should have access to Repository database:

Outbound connections for pythonservice.exe should be allowed on both servers, SQL ports should be opened on the server wher Repository database is located.

3. Source service creates shared folder on the source server and exports content to the folder, target service connects to the folder remotely and uses it foe importing:

Outbound connection from the target server should be allowed for the pythonservice.exe and inbound connections should be allowed on the source server for the shared folder (SMB port 445)
