An alternative to configuring a named instance to listen on a fixed port is to create an exception in the firewall for a [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] program such as **sqlservr.exe** (for the [!INCLUDE[ssDE](../../includes/ssde-md.md)]). This can be convenient, but the port number will not appear in the **Local Port** column of the **Inbound Rules** page when you are using the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security MMC snap-in. This can make it more difficult to audit which ports are open. Another consideration is that a service pack or cumulative update can change the path to the [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] executable which will invalidate the firewall rule.
