WebSphere Application Server JMS server default port definitions

This list includes the name of each port, its default value (which you can change), the configuration file where the port is specified, and a description that contains a link to documentation about how to customize the port setting.

When you federate an application server node that uses embedded JMS into a deployment manager cell, the deployment manager creates a JMS server on the application server node. If you do not specify values for the port assignments, the JMS server uses the default values.

Note: When you federate a WebSphere Application Server instance into a deployment manager cell with the addNode script, you can specify different port values. See the addNode script for more information.
