Kpp_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) and monitoring agents. The existing agent prefixes (pp variable values) are listed in Common agent parameters (Kpp and KAG).
You can use the POOL option, as described in Using the POOL option to set a range of port numbers, with this parameter too.
- 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.
