IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Additional ports used in the Tivoli Monitoring environment
If multiple components are installed on the same server, they may not share the same port number for IP.PIPE and IP6.PIPE, or IP.SPIPE and IP6.SPIPE communications. A scheme has been created to use additional ports for communications.
See the section, Control port number assignments for more information on managing ports when you have multiple Tivoli Monitoring components running on a single system.
- Configure your firewalls
IBM Tivoli Monitoring has a firewall gateway component that allows you to traverse even the most complex firewalls.
