Ports for remote monitoring of IBM i using JDBC connection and a Java Toolkit remote connection

The Instana remote sensor for IBM i uses a remote JDBC connection and a Java Toolkit remote connection. These connections use the following ports:

  • 8470 - central server / license management / code page conversions
  • 8471 - database access
  • 8475 - remote command
  • 8476 - signon verification
  • 449 - server mapper if using port mapper
  • 446 - for DDM/DRDA to make a remote connection to Db2 for IBM i using JDBC.


The above are non-TLS ports. Use 9xxx instead of 8xxx for TLS ports.
