Selecting UDP ports

When you select a UDP port, select an available 16-bit integer from the range that
follows:

Use available ports in the private range 49152 to 65535

Do not use the following ports:

Ports from the range of well-known ports, 0 to 1023

Ports from the range of registered ports, 1024 to 49151

To check which ports are defined as defaults for a node, examine the file
/etc/services. You should also use the

netstat

command to list the UDP ports

currently in use. For example:

# netstat -au | more

Active Internet connections (servers and established)

Look in the UDP section of the output; the UDP ports that are listed under Local
Address are already in use. If a port is listed in the /etc/services file, its associated
name is displayed rather than the port number in the output.

Configuring the netmask for LLT

For nodes on different subnets, set the netmask so that the nodes can access the
subnets in use. Run the following command and answer the prompt to set the
netmask:

#
