Connection Manager Ports

The following figure shows the ports and IP addresses used in a simple Connection Manager installation.

Note: The TCP ports shown in the figure above are the default ports as configured when CMA and CMS are installed.

Internet Server

When Internet Server requires a connection to the internal network, it makes a connection to CMA over port 41080.

During Internet Server initialization, Internet Server listens on one HTTPS port (443 or 7443) and waits for connections from TIBCO MFT Command Center to configure the Internet Server Connection Manager properties.

When you use TIBCO MFT Command Center to configure the Internet Server Connection Manager properties, TIBCO MFT Command Center makes a connection to the Internet Server HTTPS port (typically 443 or 7443).

CMA

During the CMA initialization, CMA listens on the following four ports:
  • 41080: waits for connection requests from Internet Server.
  • 48443: waits for connections from TIBCO MFT Command Center to configure the CMA properties.
  • 48000: waits for CMS control channel connections.
  • 48001: waits for CMS data connections (requested by CMA over the CMS control channel).

CMS

During the CMS initialization, CMS listens on one port (48443) and waits for connections from TIBCO MFT Command Center to configure the CMS properties.

At Initialization, and each time a new CMA is activated or a CMA connection is lost, CMS attempts to connect to CMA port 48000. If this connection fails, CMS waits for 30 seconds and tries again.

When CMA requests a connection from CMS, CMS connects to the remote server (for example, Oracle DB server). After that connection is completed, CMS connects to the CMA server on port 48001 (data connection port).

Command Center

Command Center communicates with Internet Server, CMA, and CMS servers to configure the Connection Manager properties:
  • CMA: using port 48443.
  • CMS: using port 48443.
  • Internet Server: using port 443 or 7443.
