WebSpeed TCP port details
Your WebSpeed configuration might have specific firewall configuration requirements, especially when the WebSpeed Messenger is on a separate machine from the WebSpeed broker. If a firewall exists between any two WebSpeed components, the firewall must be opened on the appropriate port.
The following table identifies the network communications requirements for your WebSpeed configuration.
Table 62. Network communications requirements
Communication
Basic requirements
Web browser to Web server
The Web browser must have access to the Web server. Typically, port 80 is used for this purpose; however, you can set up any port.
WebSpeed Messenger to NameServer
The WebSpeed Messenger communicates with the NameServer using the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) that is open inbound on port 5162, or the NameServer port number. UDP ports also must be open outbound from the NameServer to the WebSpeed Messenger to complete the communication process.
WebSpeed Messenger to WebSpeed broker
The WebSpeed Messenger communicates with the WebSpeed broker on a specific port that is defined when the WebSpeed broker is configured.
You can check this information in either OpenEdge Management/OpenEdge Explorer or the install-dir/properties/ubroker.properties file.
WebSpeed Messenger to WebSpeed agents
The WebSpeed Messenger also communicates directly with WebSpeed agents. When you configure the WebSpeed broker, you must specify a port range for the agents to use.
You can check this information in either in OpenEdge Management/OpenEdge Explorer or the install-dir/properties/ubroker.properties file.
WebSpeed agents to database
WebSpeed agents are ABL clients. Use the OpenEdge client-server configuration to establish network communication between these clients and their associated database.
