Configuring Remote Management Ports

The Remote Management Agent and Remote Control Listener bind to TCP ports 1761 and 1762, respectively. In case there is a conflict of port numbers with some application, you can change the port numbers to which they bind as follows:


Configuring the Remote Management Agent Port

The Remote Management Agent port binds to TCP port 1761 by default. You may configure it to run on a different TCP port by following the steps mentioned below:

  1. Open ZENworks_agent_directory\remotemanagement\rmagent\rmcfg.ini file.

  2. Under the Remote Management Agent Port section, set the DefaultCommPort to the desired port number.

  3. Restart the Novell ZfD Remote Management service.

To initiate a remote session to a managed workstation where the Remote Management Agent is running on any port other than 1761, the following modifications need to be done on the management console:

  1. Open the ConsoleOne_directory\1.2\bin\rmports.ini. file

  2. Under the Remote Management Agent Ports section, add the port number.

NOTE:  If the Remote Management Agents are running on different ports on different managed workstations, you may mention the port numbers one below the other under the Remote Management Agent Ports section.


Configuring the Remote Control Listener Port

The Remote Control Listener port binds to TCP port 1762 by default when ConsoleOne is started. You may configure it to run on a different TCP port by following the steps mentioned below:

  1. Open ConsoleOne_directory\1.2\bin\rmports.ini file.

  2. Under the Remote Control Listener Port section, set the DefaultCommPort to the desired port number.

  3. Restart ConsoleOne.

To initiate a remote session request to a management console, where the Remote Control Listener is running on any port other than 1762, the following modifications need to be done on the managed workstations:

  1. Open the ZENworks_agent_directory\remotemanagement\rmagent\rmcfg.ini file.

  2. Under the Remote Control Listener Ports section, add the port number.

NOTE:  If the Remote Control Listeners are running on different ports on different management consoles, you may mention the port numbers one below the other under the Remote Control Listener Ports section.
