Client Agents Guide
Port Address Configuration
The default port for TCP and UDP is 6051. The TCP port is used for
communication and data transfer between the backup server (cprocess) and the
client agent. The Backup Manager user interface uses the UDP port to browse
hosts.
If you want to configure either the TCP port or the UDP port, or both, you must
modify the configuration files on both the CA ARCserve Backup server and the
client agent so that their values match.
The names of the configuration files are as follows:
■
CAPortConfig.cfg
—
for CA ARCserve Backup Windows servers
■
agent.cfg
—
for client agents
Note:
See UNIX, Linux, and Mac OS X Client Agent Control Files for important
information about the UNIX, Linux, and Mac OS X configuration files.
The following example shows the Windows server configuration file
(CAPortConfig.cfg):
#Hostname
IP address (optional)
TCP port
UDP port
#myhost
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
6051
6051
The following example shows the syntax for the client agent configuration file
(agent.cfg):
[36]
NAME
ABcmagt
HOME
/opt/CA/ABcmagt
TCP_PORT
7090
UDP_PORT
7085
Common Agent Port Numbers
By default, the Common Agent uses port number 6051 for both TCP and UDP. To
change the default port, you must modify the ABcmagt section of the agent.cfg
file with the new port numbers, and then restart the Common Agent by issuing
the caagent stop command, followed by the caagent start command. Do
not
use
the caagent update command after modifying port numbers.
Note:
Under normal conditions,
do
not use
this method
to start or stop the
Common Agent. Instead, you should run the Start and Stop scripts of the
individual UNIX, Linux, and Mac OS X client agents installed on the system.
