KDS_X_KDE_TRANSPORT_POOL_OPTIONS

This parameter specifies a range of pool numbers.

After the port allocation algorithm assigns a well-known port to each process, all subsequent ports 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 the monitoring server.

The POOL option must specify a range of ports no smaller than 2 and no larger than 1024 in the format nnnn-nnnn. For example, POOL:3660-4683 is valid; POOL:3660-4684 is not.

If more than 1024 ports are needed in a pool for a specific protocol, you can code more than one POOL option, as in POOL:3660-4683 POOL:5660-6683.

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