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.
To access the port settings, click the settings icon and expand the Bindings
folder in the navigation pane. Then click Ports. A list of ports will load
in the content pane and the following options will be available in the content pane
toolbar:
- New - Creates a new port.
- Edit - Edits the selected port options.
- Delete - Permanently deletes the selected port(s).
Creating New Ports
When adding a new port there are several fields that need to be completed. These
fields are:
- Protocol - The type of communications protocol that should be used (IMAP, LDAP, POP, SMTP, XMPP, or Submission Port).
- Encryption - If the port requires SSL or TLS encryption, check the appropriate
option. SSL always assumes the connection will be secure and sends
the encryption immediately. TLS connects normally and then looks to see if the connection
is secure before sending the encryption.
- Name - The friendly name for the port.
- Port - The port number on which to listen for the selected protocol.
- Description - A simple description of the port and/or the port name.
