Reallocating default.serverports

This setting allows you to control the TCP server port numbers allocated for CA DataMinder services such as database management and data replication. It has a default setting of default.serverports=56100. This means port numbers are chosen sequentially from 56100 onwards.

Note: The ports specified by default.serverports must be configured on your firewall or router to allow TCP.

Use spaces to separate port numbers; use a hyphen suffix to specify the first number in a range. For example:

default.serverports=8000 8020 8030-

This allocates ports in the following order:

8000, 8020, 8030, 8031, 8032 and so on

How many server ports must you allocate?

This depends on the level of encryption used to protect network communications (this level is defined in the machine policy). But if you allocate a minimum of five server ports, this will be enough for all likely circumstances.
