Port number settings in WebSphere Application Server versions

You should be able to identify the default port numbers used in the various versions of WebSphere Application Server so that you can avoid port conflicts if you plan for an earlier version to coexist or interoperate with Version 6.1.

When you configure WebSphere Application Server resources or assign port numbers to other applications, you must avoid conflicts with other assigned ports. In addition, when you configure a firewall, you must explicitly enable access to particular port numbers.
Tip: Port 0 is an ephemeral port. This means that when the server starts, it uses any available port.
Notes:
  • When you install WebSphere Application Server, the default instance is created with the default port values. When you create a WebSphere Application Server instance with the manageprofiles script, you can specify different port values.
  • For more information about port numbers that your iSeries system currently uses, enter the NETSTAT *CNN command on the CL command line. Press F14 to view assigned port numbers.
  • You can also use the port validator tool to find port conflicts between different WebSphere Application Server profiles, products, and servers.
