Veritas NetBackup™ Administrator's Guide, Volume II

CLIENT_PORT_WINDOW entry in vm.conf

Use this entry to specify the range of non-reserved ports on this host that are used to connect to vmd on other hosts. This entry is read and interpreted on the host on which vmd runs.

CLIENT_PORT_WINDOW = start end

For example, the following entry permits ports from 4800 through 5000:

CLIENT_PORT_WINDOW = 4800 5000

The operating system determines the non-reserved port to use in the following cases:

  • A CLIENT_PORT_WINDOW entry is not specified.

  • A value of zero is specified for start.
