2.2. Default Server and Agent Ports

Server to database communication

The server has to be able to connect to its database. The database port number depends on both the type of database and the specific configuration for the database.

Server to agent communication

The server connects to an agent over a single port configured for the agent. This port is used for both standard and SSL communications between the server and agent.

Agent to server communication

An agent can talk to multiple JBoss ON servers, even if they use the same port (since each server is on a different host.) The agent will use either a standard port or an SSL port to connect to the JBoss ON server, depending on the connection (transport) method that is configured. The agent will only attempt to use a single port.
