Parameters

starting_port_number
Specifies the starting port number for network communications that use Aspera FASP technology. The default value is 15100.
Ask your network administrator to help you define the range of port numbers:
  • If you did not enable the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol for the server pair, ensure that the ports can be used for Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) sockets.
  • Ensure that the ports can be used for User Datagram Protocol (UDP) connections.
  • Ensure that the ports are compatible with firewall rules.

Example

If firewall rules require port numbers to be greater than 1800, you would specify a minimum port number of 1801:
faspbegport 1801
