Configuring ports

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

Steps for this task

  1. Review the port number settings, especially when you are planning to coexist.
  2. Optional: Change the port number settings.
    You can set port numbers when configuring the product after installation.
    • During profile creation using the Profile creation wizard, you can specify your port settings.

      See Creating profiles through the graphical user interface.

    • During profile creation using the command-line tools, the wasprofile command can use port values that you specify instead of the default port values. You can use a port file, specify a starting port, or accept the default port values.

      See wasprofile command.

    You can change port settings after installation. Edit the profile_root/config/cells/cell_name/nodes/node_name/serverindex.xml file to change the port settings, or use scripting to change the values.
