portNumberToPortName.xml File

The portNumberToPortName.xml file is used by DFM as a dictionary to create IpServiceEndpoint CIs by mapping port numbers to meaningful port names. When a port is discovered, the Probe extracts the port number, searches in the portNumberToPortName.xml file for the port name that corresponds to this port number, and creates the IpServiceEndpoint CI with that name. If the port name does not appear in this file, the Probe uses the port number as the port name.

You can specify different names for same port number for different IP ranges. In this case, the same port discovered for IPs contained in different ranges will have different port names.

Note The portNumber attribute may be a number or a range. Ranges may be separated by commas or dashes or both. For example: "10, 21, 45", "10-21", or "10-21, 45, 110". You may use x as a wildcard in any position in a number. For example "5xx00" includes ports 50000, 50100, 50200, …51000, 51100, 51200, …59900.
