2111.0. "ASE - TCP/IP ports" by TIMAST::SCHIMPF (Rick Schimpf SPS Specialist) Wed Jun 04 1997 04:25

    I am trying to troubleshoot a complex and delicate ASE configuration on
    a customer site.  One thing that appears to happen is that the customer
    is running a program called secure shell.  Secure shell arbitrarily
    goes out and grabs any TCP/Ip port that it wants.  It steps on the
    customer's application and Possibly on ASE at times.   The customer is
    in the process of fixing secure shell, but in the mean time I would
    like to know how ASE is being affected.  So the question is, what
    TCP/IP ports does ASE use, if any?  How can I check this on my system? 
    Where is this documented, if anywhere?
    
    
    
    Thanks

Most of the ase components use sunrpc.  This means they don't use
fixed port numbers, they ask the sunrpc portmapper to map a request
to a service.  You can see the names of these services using the
"rpcinfo -p" command.

I think one exception is the tractd process. I forget how it gets
its port number.  There was a discussion in note 1611 on this topic.
I don't have a cluster with ASE running right now or I would do
some further investigation.  You can use the 'netstat' command
with no args to see which ports are in use on your system.  Also
the 'lsof -i' command (see note 1611 on how to get lsof) can show
you which processes have a given port opened.
