Hi Norman,

The choice of ports is entirely up to you. Typically Ingres/Net is
configured on the server to use the Installation ID as the listen address.
This translates to a tcp-ip port when the net server starts up and will
always translate to the same value. You can find out what it translates to
by looking in $II_SYSTEM/ingres/files/errlog.log on the server just after
the net server has started. You will see an entry like this.

Sun Jul 10 07:31:16 2005 E_GC2815_NTWK_OPEN   Network open complete for
protocol TCP_IP, port II (21064).

So the port ID is 21064.

If the server is configured to start multiple net servers from the same
configuration then there will be one line for each.

Sun Jul 10 07:31:16 2005 E_GC2815_NTWK_OPEN   Network open complete for
protocol TCP_IP, port II1 (21065).

Sun Jul 10 07:31:16 2005 E_GC2815_NTWK_OPEN   Network open complete for
protocol TCP_IP, port II2 (21066).

And so on up to a maximum II7 (21071). If there are multiple net server
configurations then you could find more than 8 ports.

As I said these port ID's will be the same every time these net servers
start up.

All the best

Subject: [Info-ingres] Which tcp port does Ingres/Net use on HPUX

Hi folks

We have Ingres/Net running on a development server (HPUX 10.20) and we
need to access a production database running on a production server
(also HPUX 10.20) via ISQL.  However, the production server is behind
a firewall and we need to advise the security folks which port on the
production server we need to have open so that Ingres/Net on our
development server can access the production server.  Which port(s)
should we use and/or where should lwe ook to determine the port?

TIA
