The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) administrates the port numbers in the range of 0 - 65,535.
When it comes to assigning port numbers for services that are not registered, only port numbers of the so-called dynamic (private) range of 49,152 - 65,535 should be assigned in order to meet minimum security requirements. However, conflicts with already installed applications can occur.
But in practice, numbers in the range from 0-1,023 are protected, and numbers from 1,024 onwards can be used. For example, operating systems must only allow processes with appropriate privileges to open the server ports that are within the given range.
Prior to any installation, contact your system administrator to evaluate the ports that are already in use by the system and applications. Conflicts can be avoided by assigning ports that are already used by Agile e6. An existing firewall can also be configured, accordingly.
In case a system administrator is not available, a list of currently used TCP- and UDP -ports can be created with the command netstat -a. The RPC ports that are available through PortMapper can be determined using the command rpcinfo -p.
7.1 Range of Ports
The port numbers are divided into three ranges:
Well-known ports
The well known ports are those from 0 - 1,023. DCCP well known ports should not be used without IANA registration. The registration procedure is defined in document RFC4340, section 19.9.
Registered ports
The registered ports are those from 1,024 - 49,151. DCCP registered ports should not be used without IANA registration. The registration procedure is defined in document RFC4340, section 19.9.
Dynamic and/or private ports
The dynamic and/or private ports are those from 49,152 - 65,535.
Note:
Assignment of a port number does not in any way imply an endorsem*nt of an application or product, and the fact that network traffic is flowing to or from a registered port does not mean that it is "good" traffic. Firewall and system administrators should choose how to configure their systems based on their knowledge of the traffic in question, not whether there is a port number registered or not.
7.1.1 Well Known Port Numbers
The well known ports are assigned by the IANA and on most systems can only be used by system (or root) processes or by programs executed by privileged users.
Ports are used in the TCP [RFC793] to name the ends of logical connections which carry long term conversations. For the purpose of providing services to unknown callers, a service contact port is defined. This list specifies the port used by the server process as its contact port. The contact port is sometimes called the "well-known port".
To the extent possible, the same port assignments are used with the UDP [RFC768]. The range for assigned ports managed by the IANA is 0-1,023.
7.1.2 Registered Port Numbers
The registered ports are listed by the IANA and on most systems can be used by ordinary user processes, or programs executed by ordinary users.
Ports are used in the TCP [RFC793] to name the ends of logical connections which carry long term conversations. For the purpose of providing services to unknown callers, a service contact port is defined. This list specifies the port used by the server process as its contact port.
The IANA registers uses of these ports as a convenience to the community. To the extent possible, these same port assignments are used with the UDP [RFC768]. The Registered Ports are in the range 1,024-49,151.
7.1.3 Dynamic and/or Private Ports
The Dynamic and/or Private Ports are those from 49,152 - 65,535.
