Tcpadminport
Use the tcpadminport option to specify a separate TCP/IP port number on which the server waits for requests for administrative client sessions, allowing secure administrative sessions within a private network.
The client tcpadminport setting depends on how the Tivoli® Storage Manager server tcpadminport and adminonclientport options are configured. The Tivoli Storage Manager server has a tcpadminport setting that indicates on which port the server listens for administrative sessions, and the adminonclientport setting, which can be either yes or no.
If tcpadminport is not set on the server, then administrative sessions are allowed on the same port as client sessions.
If tcpadminport is set on the server, then administrative sessions are allowed on the port specified by that setting. In this case, if adminonclientport yes is in effect, then administrative sessions can connect on either the regular client port or the port specified by tcpadminport. If adminonclientport no is in effect, then administrative sessions can connect only on the port specified by tcpadminport.
Supported Clients
This option is valid for all clients. The server can also define this option. The Tivoli Storage Manager client API does not support this option.
