Cloverleaf Ephemeral Ports

[Karl Garen]

Hi,

Has anyone used “enable Ephemeral Port Range?” and if so how did you use it.

The reason to use it is so that the ports that each processes that the site uses do not try and grab ports that are used by your inbound threads.  If a process starts and grabs a port that a thread listens on then you have an issue with contention and your thread will be in the “error” status and you will have to restart the process to force it to another port.

In my experience you will have to define a range for each site.  Not overlapping  between sites.
