Connection ports and base port

On every host, a set of connection ports must be free for use by EGO components.

Symphony requires exclusive use of certain ports for communication. Symphony uses the same seven consecutive ports on every host in the cluster. The first of these is called the base port.

The default base connection port is 7869. Symphony always uses seven consecutive ports starting from the base port. By default, Symphony uses ports 7869-7875.

The ports can be customized by customizing the base port. For example, if the base port is 6880, Symphony uses ports 6880-6886.

Symphony needs the same ports on every host, so you must specify the same base port on every host.

To change the base port after installation, shut down the cluster and use the egoconfig setbaseport command on each host in the cluster. Start the cluster to use the new connection ports.
