Port planning

This section provides default port information to assist you in planning your installation. This information allows you to check for port availability before you install WebSphere Partner Gateway.

Table 4. Installer default ports - Visible to user
Visible to user Console Receiver Router
HTTP 58080 57080 56080
HTTPS 58443 57443 56443

Table 5. Installer default ports - Not visible to user
Not visible to user Console Receiver Router
HTTP2 58090 57090 56090
HTTPS2 58043 57043 56043
SOAP_CONNECTOR 58880 57880 56880
BOOTSTRAP 58809 57809 56809

In addition, the following ports should also be considered during your planning:

Table 6. Default ports for third-party connections
Requirement Default port
Port used to connect to WebSphere MQ Queue Manager 9999
Port used to connect to DB2 50000
Port used to connect to Oracle 1521
Port used to connect to Help System 58888
Port used for SMTP connection from router to e-mail server 25

Firewall considerations

You must configure port access for all WebSphere Partner Gateway components that are installed across firewalls. See Table 7 for a list of port access requirements.

Table 7. Component connections across firewalls
Component Components requiring access
WebSphere MQ Queue Manager Console, Receiver, and Document Manager need access to WebSphere MQ Queue Manager.
DB2 or Oracle Console, Receiver, and Document Manager need access to DB2 or Oracle.
Common shared file Console, Receiver, and Document Manager need access to the Common shared file.
Receiver

Document Manager needs access to the HTTP port of the Receiver for synchronous responses. For example, synchronous MDNs for AS2.
