port_range_conf

The port_range_conf table defines the available port range configuration(s) for this iProcess Engine, for use with a firewall.

Note	In pre-10.4 iProcess Engine versions this information was defined in the RNGMODE parameter of the SWDIR\etc\staffcfg file.

Structure

The port_range_conf table has the following structure:

TABLE port_range_conf (
	port_range_id	INTEGER		NOT NULL,
	range_mode	SMALLINT		NOT NULL,
	range_size	INTEGER		NOT NULL,
	port_start	INTEGER		NOT NULL,
	rpc_start	INTEGER		NOT NULL)

Column	Description
port_range_id	Unique ID of this particular port range configuration.
range_mode	Mode used by this port range configuration. One of the following values: • 0  No Port or RPC ranging. A process uses the next available port number assigned by the operating system, and an RPC number based on the process ID. • 1  Port ranging. A process uses a port number allocated from within the defined range, and an RPC number based on the process ID. • 2  RPC ranging. A process uses the next available port number assigned by the operating system, and an RPC number allocated from within the defined range. • 3  Port and RPC ranging. A process uses both a port number and an RPC number allocated from within the defined ranges.
range_size	The number of port and RPC numbers allowed in the port number and RPC number ranges.
port_start	The first number in the defined range of port numbers. (The last number = port_start + range_size.)
rpc_start	The first number in the defined range of RPC numbers. (The last number = rpc_start + range_size.)

Table Activity

The port_range_conf table contains one row per defined port range configuration.

Rows are added, updated and deleted in the following situations.

A row is...	When...
added	a user defines a new port range configuration using the SWDIR\util\swadm utility.
updated	a user changes an existing port range configuration, that is, either mode, range size or starting port/RPC number is changed, using the SWDIR\util\swadm utility.
deleted	a user deletes an existing port range configuration using the SWDIR\util\swadm utility.
