Network port schematics for Infrastructure Management
Ports used in TrueSight Infrastructure Management deployments
The following figure illustrates a typical high-level logical architecture for an Infrastructure Management deployment using multiple Infrastructure Management Servers. The same ports are used in a single Infrastructure Management server deployment. The arrows indicate the direction from which the connections are established.
Ports used by Infrastructure Management system components for network communication
Ports used in PATROL data collection
The following diagram illustrates the default ports on which connections are made regarding communications from the PATROL Agents through the Integration Service to the Infrastructure Management Server. The direction of the arrows indicates the connection requests.
Network communication ports used in data collection from PATROL Agents
The PATROL Agent can forward events to its consumers through two channels:
- Channel through the Integration Service—In this channel, an event shares the same channel that is available for data streaming. All the events that are triggered and filtered to pass are routed through the Integration Service. The event response acknowledgement is implemented in the PATROL Agent to guarantee the delivery of the event to consumers, which in this case is Infrastructure Management.
Separate Channel through IMGW—In this channel, an event is pushed to the Server Cell that uses propagate rules to forward the event to one or more destination cells or gateways. The PATROL Agent has a dependency on the IMGW library interface for the message acknowledgement mechanism. Guaranteed delivery is available only between two peer IMGW interfaces.
Ports used by the Infrastructure Management administrator console
The following diagram illustrates the connections between the administrator console and other Infrastructure Management components. The ports listed in the diagram are default ports and the arrows indicate the direction of the connection requests.

Ports used by the Infrastructure Management and Reporting databases
The following diagram illustrates the connections between the Infrastructure Management database server, the Infrastructure Management Server, the TrueSight Operations Management Reporting Server, and the Reporting Engine Server. The ports listed are default ports and the arrows indicate the direction of the connection requests.

Port configuration
You can configure some ports during the installation and some only after the installation of the Infrastructure Management Server.
