Default port numbers

Review this information for the default port numbers used by WebSphere Commerce or its component products.

The ports listed in this section are defaults only. The actual port numbers used when creating your profile might be different. Ensure that the ports listed are not in use when creating a WebSphere Commerce instance. If you have a firewall configured in your system, ensure that you can access these ports.

For port numbers required by non-IBM software, see the documentation for the non-IBM software package.

To change a port, see Changing the ports used for WebSphere Commerce tools.
WebSphere Commerce DeveloperNote: Changing ports on WebSphere Commerce Developer is not recommended and is not supported. WebSphere Commerce Developer has its own integrated HTTP service and if you change port numbers, you might encounter some unpredicted issues on the storefront.
The port numbers listed are required by the software provided with WebSphere Commerce.
