KDS_X_KDE_TRANSPORT_GBL_OPTIONS

This parameter allows you to limit connections to a specific range of port numbers.

Description
This parameter specifies a range of pool numbers. After the port allocation algorithm assigns a well-known port to each process, all subsequent ports that are allocated for connections between components are opaque ports; that is, any available port can be allocated for a connection. You can limit opaque port allocations to a specific range of ports by using this parameter for Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server (TEMS).

You can use the POOL option, as described in Using the POOL option to set a range of port numbers, with this parameter too.

Required or optional
Optional
Default value
None
Permissible values
The POOL option must specify a range of ports no smaller than 2 and no larger than 1024 in the format nnnn-nnnn.

Example:

POOL:1000-2023 is valid; POOL:1000-2024 is not.

If more than 1024 ports are needed in a pool for a specific protocol, you can specify more than one POOL option, as in POOL:1000-2023 POOL:3000-4023.
