Organization of this subsection

(1) Setting firewall passage directions

If there is a firewall between PFM - Manager and PFM - Agent for Service Response, you must set fixed port numbers for all services of PFM - Manager and PFM - Agent.

For more details, see the section describing the firewall passage direction in the manual JP1/Performance Management Reference.

(2) Setting firewall passage directions (for logical host operation)

If there is a firewall between PFM - Manager and PFM - Agent for Service Response, you must set fixed port numbers for all services of PFM - Manager and PFM - Agent. To enable communications to all services to pass through the firewall, the port numbers that you set must comply with the directions shown in the following table.

←: Direction in which communication (connection) begins, from the right-hand item to the left-hand item.

When communication (connection) is initiated, the receiving side (the side indicated by the tip of the arrow) uses the port numbers shown in Table D-1 as receiving ports. The connecting side uses the free port numbers assigned by the OS as sending ports. The available range of port numbers depends on the OS.

When a connection is initiated from Manager to Agent as shown above, set the firewall so that the sending ports temporarily used by Manager can pass through to the receiving ports of Agent.
