Configure ARR and eventing ports

You can configure both the secure and non-secure ARR and eventing ports using the procedure in
this section.
The ARR port is the port through which the switches in the fabric send data (large payload
responses) back to the SMI-A.
The eventing port is the port through which the switch connects to the SMI-A to deliver events.
If a firewall exists between the SMI-A and the fabric, these ports must be open in the firewall. If
these ports are not open, the connection from the SMI-A to the fabric will fail.
ARR and eventing ports are optional. If you do not configure them, or if you configure them with a
value of 0, the SMI Agent dynamically allocates a port during server startup.
When you choose values for the ARR and eventing ports, make sure they are not one of the
assigned TCP ports. The Configuration Tool does not check for this. You can see a list of assigned
TCP ports at:
