Step 2 (B): Identify an Available UDP Port Number
for Parallel Library TCP/IP Use
You can use the SCF STATUS PROCESS command to determine which UDP port
numbers are already in use for a particular SUBNET. Example 8-7 shows an example
of a SCF STATUS PROCESS command for the TCP/IP process named $ZTC01:
UDP port numbers are identified by UDP in the Proto field. UDP port numbers that are
in use are displayed in the Lport field. As shown in Example 8-7, the UDP port
numbers 1029, 68, 67, and 69 are in use.
Based on the information shown by the SCF STATUS PROCESS command, determine
an available UDP port number. HP recommends that you do not use a well-known
UDP port number in the range 0 to 1023. You must specify this UDP port number when
you define the Expand-over-IP line-handler process in Step 4: Create the Line-Handler
Process.
Step 2 (B): Identify an Available UDP Port
Number for Parallel Library TCP/IP Use
A User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port number enables multiple applications to use
the same IP address. An Expand-over-IP line-handler process might share a local IP
address with other applications or with other Expand-over-IP processes. Each must
specify a different port number. To avoid conflict, you should identify an available UDP
port number for the IP address you selected in Step 1 (B): Select a TCPSAM Process
and SUBNET for Parallel Library TCP/IP Use.

Note. You must also perform this step on the destination system before you can define the
local Expand-over-IP line-handler process. The destination UDP port number must be
specified when the local Expand-over-IP line-handler process is defined.
