Configuring monitored ports
You set the TCP ports to monitor in the Administration > System Settings: Monitored Ports page. The ports you specify appear in the Traffic Summary report. Make sure the description you specify helps you identify the type of traffic on the port.
The SteelHead automatically discovers all the ports in the system that have traffic. Discovered ports, with a label (if one exists), are added to the Traffic Summary report. If a label doesn’t exist then an unknown label is added to the discovered port. To change the unknown label to a name representing the port, you must add the port with a new label. All statistics for this new port label are preserved from the time the port was discovered.
By default, traffic is monitored on ports 21 (FTP), 80 (HTTP), 135 (EPM), 139 (CIFS:NetBIOS), 443 (SSL), 445 (CIFS:TCP), 1352 (Lotus Notes), 1433 (SQL:TDS), 1748 (SRDF), 3225 (FCIP), 3226 (FCIP), 3227 (FCIP), 3228 (FCIP), 7830 (MAPI), 7919 (IP Blade), 8777 (RCU), 8778 (SMB Signed), 8779 (SMB2), 8780 (SMB2 Signed), 8781 (SMB3), 8782 (SMB3 Signed), 8783 (SMB3 Encrypted), and 10566 (SnapMirror).
