Changing the Default TFTP Port of the License Manager

RMS uses 5099 as the default TFTP port for redundant server configuration file synchronization amongst License Managers that form a redundant server pool. The default port used for this purpose is 5099. If two License Managers running on a system (one using the default port 5093 and other using a customized port for client server communication) participate in two different redundant server pools, then file transfer communication via the default port 5099 will cause conflict. Hence, the TFTP port should be customized for at least one of them using the procedure described in this topic.

Executables to Rebuild

The License Manager executable needs to be rebuild.
