Troubleshooting
Problem
You are using App Connect Enterprise (ACE) or IBM Integration Bus (IIB) and need to plan for HTTP and HTTPS traffic supporting either standard HTTP calls or SOAP HTTP messaging. You need to know how many ports will be used and how to configure which ports are in use.
Resolving The Problem
App Connect Enterprise components use several ports for different HTTP based functions.
By default, ACE components use these ports, if the corresponding function is enabled.
All of these port numbers are configurable.
| Port# | Usage |
| 4414 | This port will be used by the Integration Node web admin listener |
| 7080 | This port will be used by the biphttplistener process for plain HTTP traffic to all ExecutionGroups |
| 7083 | This port will be used by the biphttplistener for encrypted HTTP (HTTPS) traffic to all ExecutionGroups |
| 7600 | This port will be used by the REST Admin listener for an independent Integration Server |
| 7800-7842 | This range of ports will be assigned incrementally for plain HTTP traffic to each EG that has a SOAPInput node, in the order that each EG starts up |
| 7843-7885 | This range of ports will be assigned correspondingly to the plain HTTP traffic port for HTTPS traffic to each EG that has a SOAPInput node, in the order that each EG starts up |
For example, suppose you have a single Integration Node with two Integration Servers, each with an HTTPInput node and a SOAPInput node. If both the HTTPListener and the SOAP HTTPConnector are configured to allow both plain and encrypted HTTP (http and https), then these ports will be used:
4414 - all traffic to the Integration Node
7080 - all unencrypted traffic to all HTTPInput nodes in both Integration Servers
7083 - all encrypted traffic to all HTTPInput nodes in both Integration Servers
7800 - all unencrypted traffic for SOAPInput nodes deployed to the first Integration Server that starts up
7801 - all unencrypted traffic for SOAPInput nodes deployed to the second Integration Server that starts up
7843 - all encrypted traffic for SOAPInput nodes deployed to the first Integration Server that starts up
7844 - all encrypted traffic for SOAPInput nodes deployed to the second Integration Server that starts up
7083 - all encrypted traffic to all HTTPInput nodes in both Integration Servers
7800 - all unencrypted traffic for SOAPInput nodes deployed to the first Integration Server that starts up
7801 - all unencrypted traffic for SOAPInput nodes deployed to the second Integration Server that starts up
7843 - all encrypted traffic for SOAPInput nodes deployed to the first Integration Server that starts up
7844 - all encrypted traffic for SOAPInput nodes deployed to the second Integration Server that starts up
