IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
SKIP and COUNT
SKIP and COUNT modifiers are used to control the port search algorithm. Default search is for baseport+N*4096 where N is a number from 1 to 15. The SKIP modifier forces it to start with N equal to the SKIP value in the above calculation. The COUNT modifier controls the number of attempts that are made.
The following modifier is commonly used for the Warehouse Proxy Agent:
IP.PIPE PORT:1918 SKIP:15 COUNT:1 USE:YThe only port that will be checked with this modifier is 1918+15*4096 or 63358. This means that the Warehouse Proxy Agent will have a fixed IP address even when a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server and other agents are starting up. Having a fixed port number is required if firewall rules are in place.
