Adjust for ports being blocked by your firewall or being used by other applications

IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics, Version 7.1.0.1

Adjust for ports being blocked by your firewall or being used by other applications - UNIX

At various times during the installation you will need to specify or accept the defaults for port numbers used by ITCAM for Application Diagnostics, IBM WAS, or databases. Complete one of the following options:

Make sure that the ports listed in Table 1 are not being blocked by your firewall or being used by other applications.
Make a note of which ports are being blocked or being used by other applications. Then later, during the installation, make sure you do not accept a default that includes one of those ports.

Consult the documentation for your firewall program to determine which ports are being blocked by your firewall.
Run the following command to determine which ports are already being used by applications on your computer:
netstat -a
The following table shows the default ports enlisted by the installation:
