Fog communications

Hello Forum,
how does the Client Communicate with the Server?
It says in the Wiki that the Client is Polling the Server, but on which Port ?
(https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=FOG_Client -> Polling Behavior)At the end i need to know on what ports operates the client and on which the Server (The server probably on Port 80).
Thanks in advance for the answers.

Using Port 80 (TCP).

@sebastian-roth Thanks for the Response, is it than correct to assume the Client takes one of the dynamic Ports (49152 - 65535)?
And the Client Contacts always the Server and not the other way around? -
@Nick Are we really talking about the fog-client? Not deployment/capture? Because that would use NFS or multicast and way different ports for that reason.
But the fog-client always connects client (random high source port) -> server (port 80). From the top of my head I don’t think there is a connection going the other way.

@sebastian-roth Thanks again for the Answer, we nee to know this for Deployment of Snapins.

@nick the client communicates entirely with web based services on the fog server. in fact, if you know what to put in the url bar you can do most (maybe all, i can’t remember) of the call/response in a browser to see what gets returned when the client makes requests. which is something we do when troubleshooting.
