Explanation

Ports 8443 and 9002 are the two required ports for bi-directional communication between the Reporting Engine and PowerProtect Data Manager (PPDM). Port 8443 is PPDM's secure HTTPS management port, handling encrypted REST API and UI traffic. Port 9002 is specifically designated for Reporting Engine data exchange with PPDM. Together, they enable the full communication channel needed for report data to flow in both directions.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (7000) and B (7001) are associated with other services (e.g., Oracle WebLogic) and have no role in PPDM's Reporting Engine communication.
• C (8080) is a generic HTTP port sometimes used for web traffic but is not part of PPDM's Reporting Engine channel.

Memory tip: Think "8443 = Secure management (HTTPS), 9002 = Reporting" - the 9 in 9002 can remind you it's the 9th letter 'R' for Reporting. Alternatively, pair them as "HTTPS + Report = 8443 + 9002."
