MATRIXX Engine Port Configuration

You can use the configuration parameters in create_config.py to configure MATRIXX Engine communication ports.

Port Configuration Parameters lists the information required to configure communication ports for each MATRIXX Engine. These parameters are asked only once for all servers in an engine if you answer y to the create_config.info question Do you want to specify port numbers on a global basis? . MATRIXX suggests that for a production environment, you answer y, so the same port numbers are assigned to all servers.

Table 1. Port Configuration Parameters
Parameter Description Default Value
Binary MDC communication The port for sending and receiving data in binary MDC format. This is mainly used internally for test applications.

create_config.info question: Engine 1:Cluster 1:LogicalBlade 1:What port number do you want to use for binary MDC communication?

4003
MDC Proxy Gateway VS communication The port for communicating with external clients that use the subscriber management API. This gateway has the business logic that converts the data into binary MDC format.

create_config.info question: Engine 1:Cluster 1:LogicalBlade 1:What port number do you want to use for compact MDC communication?

14060
Internal MDC Port Number Used for internal MDC engine communication.

create_config.info question: Engine 1:Cluster 1:LogicalBlade 1:What port number do you want to use for internal MDC communication?

14061
Port for Local (mesh) Cluster Manager Protocol Specifies the port number for the local (mesh) Cluster Manager Protocol, used for inbound CMP TCP traffic. This setting applies only when using TCP as the Cluster Manager protocol.

create_config.info question:

Engine 1:Cluster 3:LogicalBlade 1:What port number do you want to use for local (mesh) cluster manager protocol?
6200
Cluster Manager CLI The port for sending Cluster Management CLI commands between Cluster Managers in the same cluster and peer clusters. This value is dependent on the Traffic Routing Agent's Cluster Manager Virtual Server configuration.

create_config.info question: Engine 1:Cluster 1:LogicalBlade 1:What port number do you want to use for cluster management CLI communication?

14800
Database Sync Port The port the Transaction Server's database synchronization task uses to sync the in-memory databases on a newly added server with the other servers in the cluster.

create_config.info question: Engine 1:Cluster 1:LogicalBlade 1:What port number do you want to use for the database sync communication?

5051
SNMP Agent Port The port that the SNMP agent listens on. When you configure the NOC, make certain you specify the same port for the MATRIXX SNMP agent that you specified here.
Note: Do not use the same port configured for the Linux SNMP agent. By default, network management stations use port 161 for polling.

create_config.info question: Engine 1:Cluster 1:LogicalBlade 1:SNMP:What port number do you want the SNMP Agent to listen on?

14700
SNMP local trap daemon Port The port that the SNMP trap daemon listens on.

create_config.info question: Engine 1:Cluster 1:LogicalBlade 1:SNMP:What port number do you want to use for local trapd?

16161
Network Enabler SNMP Agent Port The port that the SNMP agent listens on when running on a Network Enabler machine. By default, the Network Enabler uses the same SNMP Agent Port as theTraffic Routing Agent server, (port 14701). When running Network Enablers on the engine, you must set the port value to 14700.
Note: Do not use the same port configured for the Linux SNMP agent. The Linux SNMP agent uses port 161 by default.

create_config.info question: Engine 1:Cluster 1:LogicalBlade 1: SNMP:What port number do you want the SNMP Agent to listen on when running on a network enabler machine?

14701
Network Enabler, TRA, and Route Cache Controller SNMP local trap daemon Port The port that the SNMP trap daemon listens on when running on a Network Enabler machine.

create_config.info question: Engine 1:Cluster 1:LogicalBlade 1:SNMP:What port number do you want to use for local trapd when running on a network enabler machine?

16162
Transaction Protocol Communication Port The port number for transaction protocol communications.

create_config.info question: Engine 1:Cluster 1:LogicalBlade 1:What port number do you want to use for the transaction protocol communication?

6500
Diameter Gateway Listen Port Specifies the Diameter Gateway Listen port.

create_config.info question:

Engine 1:Cluster 3:LogicalBlade 1:Diameter:What port number(s) do you want the Diameter Gateway to listen on?
