About HTTP Ports

The default HTTP port for communication between PortAssist Manager and the client browser is 8080, which is the standard fallback port for HTTP servers. You may want to reconfigure this port for one of the following reasons:

• No primary HTTP server uses port 80, the well-known port for HTTP servers, and you want to simplify the URL required to access PortAssist Manager. (If you use port 80, users do not have to specify the port when they enter the URL.)
• A secondary HTTP server already uses port 8080.

If you do need to reconfigure the HTTP port, use one of the following procedures:

• Reconfiguring the HTTP Port: Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000
• Reconfiguring the HTTP Port: UNIX or Linux
