Ports

System administrators can use this section to assign protocols to ports that can then be assigned to IP Addresses. In addition, this section is used to add Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) rules to any ports and protocols.

When access Bindings and Ports, a list of ports will load and the following actions can be taken:

  • New - Creates a new port.
  • Edit - Edit an entry by clicking on the card.
  • Delete - To Delete an existing port, click on the caret (∨) shown in the upper right corner of the card and click Delete. To delete multiple entries at once, click on the Select button to open the multi-select tool.

  • Port - The port number on which to listen for the selected protocol.
  • Name - The friendly name for the port.
  • Type - The type of communications protocol that should be used (IMAP, LDAP, POP, SMTP, XMPP, or Submission Port) and, if encrypted, the encryption used.
  • IP Addresses - The number of IP addresses being used on the specified port.
