CA Performance Center Communication Ports

CA Performance Center uses multiple ports to communicate with various components, particularly data sources. In addition, some of the products and components that integrate with CA Performance Center have specific port requirements.

Important! For any firewall that protects this server, open the required ports and protocols for the data sources you are deploying. The product documentation for each data source provides a list of required ports and protocols.

Each data source uses unique ports. However, the following communication ports must be open to allow communications between CA Performance Center and various products or components:

TCP/HTTP 80

Enables synchronization with CA Network Flow Analysis to retrieve configuration data.

TCP 3306

Enables communications from the MySQL database (inbound) on the console.

TCP/HTTP 8181

Enables communications between client computers and the CA Performance Center server. Enables console communications with data sources.

TCP/HTTP 8281

Enables communications between the Event Manager, which is installed automatically with the CA Performance Center software, and the data sources.

TCP/HTTP 8381

Enables communications between client computers and the CA Performance Center server. Also enables login using the Single Sign-On authentication component.

TCP 8481

Enables communications between the Device Manager and Console services.

TCP/HTTP 8681

Enables synchronization with CA Network Flow Analysis to retrieve device data.

TCP/HTTP 8581

Enables synchronization with CA Performance Management.

The following diagram illustrates basic port usage:

CA Performance Center port usage varies by data source.

Be sure to consult the Administrator Guide or Installation Guide of the data sources you install for their port requirements.
