TCP/IP port considerations Reference MDM device attributes

This topic contains information about configuring TCP/IP ports on your system for WebSphere Application Server, including considerations regarding potential port conflicts with other software on your system.

Default MDM WebSphere Application Server ports

The MDM installation program will pre-configure the TCP/IP ports used by WebSphere Application Server 5.1 as shown in Table 9.

Table 9. Multiple Device Manager default WebSphere Application Server ports
WebSphere Application Server Port Port value
Bootstrap port 2809
IBM HTTP Server port 80
IBM HTTP Admin port 8008
HTTP Transport port 9080
HTTPS Transport port 9443
Admin Console port 9090
Admin Console Secure Server port 9043
JMS Server Direct Address port 5559
JMS Server Security port 5557
JMS Server Queued Address port 5558
SOAP Connector Address port 8980
DRS Client Address port 7873

If you chose the "advanced" installation path, you will be presented with the default WebSphere Application Server TCP/IP ports panel. The "typical" installation path will assume default WebSphere Application Server port usage unless it detects an active port conflict with the default assignments. If a conflict is detected, then the WebSphere Application Server TCP/IP ports panel will be displayed so that you can change the default values.

The installation program will check for port conflict at the time of installation. However, if ports come active after the MDM installation, a port conflict might occur.

Ensure that the port numbers you use are not used by other applications. To determine which port numbers are currently in use on a particular machine, type either of the following commands from a command prompt: netstat -a, or netstat -an. The port numbers in use on that system will be listed in the "Local Address" column of the output in the format host:port, for example:

Active Connections

Proto Local Address Foreign Address State

TCP hostai:1025 hostai:0 LISTENING

TCP hostai:1038 hostai:0 LISTENING

Note:Note: The netstat command reflects ports currently in use. However, port usage can subsequently change as the software runs, is started, or new software is installed.

Consult your system administrator for more information about TCP/IP port usage on your system. You can also find additional port assignment information at http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers.
