Port number settings

We should be able to identify the default port numbers used in the various versions of WebSphere Application Server so that we can avoid port conflicts if we plan for an earlier version to coexist or interoperate with v9.0.

This article is about profile configuration migration. To migrate the applications to the latest version, use the WAS Migration Toolkit.

When we configure WAS resources or assign port numbers to other applications, we must avoid conflicts with other assigned ports. In addition, when we configure a firewall, we must explicitly enable access to particular port numbers.

If ports are already defined in a configuration being migrated, the migration tools fix the port conflicts in the v9.0 configuration and log the changes for our verification .

(iSeries) Notes:

Port conflicts might occur if we assign a custom port value within the recommended default dynamic port range. Because port values are assigned dynamically, WAS cannot predetermine the port values that will be assigned to the servers. A way to avoid the possibility of a port conflict among servers is to either accept the default server port values assigned by the Profile Management Tool, or assign custom port values that do not fall within the default dynamic port range. In operating systems released prior to 2008, the default dynamic port range is 1025 to 5000, and in newer operating systems the dynamic port range is 49152 to 65535. Because these default ranges are recommended by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), they are common across all operating systems.

1 When we create a server from the administrative console, the product uses the bootstrap address value of the default application server template, which is 9810. If 9810 is not available, the port value is incremented to the next available value.

When we federate an application server node into a deployment-manager cell, the deployment manager instantiates the node agent server process on the application server node. The node agent server uses these port assignments by default.
