Determine Port Availability for Agent

This step is only required for agents that use deprecated communication. Simplified communication uses standard ports for HTTP (port 80) and HTTPS (port 443).

Agents and Orchestrators communicate with each other using the following ports.

• Orchestrator port: 7001
• Agent port: 7003

During agent installation, you configure the ports that agents use. When configuring network ports for an agent, accept the default settings except when:

• Another application on the host is using the default port.
• A firewall restriction prevents communication on the default port.

To use a port other than the default port, select a valid, unused port.
