Default Ports

The default ports used by Sun Management Center components might be used by other processes already installed on the system. If you install Sun Management Center using the default port assignments, you might encounter port conflicts and be unable to start Sun Management Center. The Sun Management Center setup process checks the ports for each component. The process prompts you to either assign an alternate port or use the default port.

The following table lists the Sun Management Center components and the default port for each component. See To Determine Whether a Port Is Used to find out how to check whether a port is in use.

To Determine Whether a Port Is Used

1. In a terminal window, type /bin/netstat -an | grep portnumber where portnumber is the port number that you want to query. For example:

   # /bin/netstat -an | grep 8443 #

   • If the port is not in use, only the command-line prompt is returned as shown above.

   • If the port is in reserved or in use, the status of the port is returned. For example:

     # /bin/netstat -an | grep 1161 # *.1161 Idle # /bin/netstat -an | grep 8080 # 172.16.0.0.8080 *.* 0 0 24576 0 LISTEN

     where 172.16.0.0 is the IP address of the machine on which you entered the netstat command.
