Note: For detailed installation instructions, see “Installing RASM” in the RoamAbout Switch
Manager Interface Reference.
Notes:
• Multiple applications cannot use the same UDP or TCP port on the same host. For example, port
443 is defined by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), as the well-known HTTPS
port. If the host on which you install RoamAbout Switch Manager Services uses its default
HTTPS port (443), and the same host also runs Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) on
its default HTTPS port (443), there will be a conflict over the port. RoamAbout Switch Manager
clients will not be able to communicate with RoamAbout Switch Manager Services.
• If you plan to use the remote configuration option to configure new switches, you must use port
443 for RoamAbout Switch Manager Services. When a switch requests its configuration from
RoamAbout Switch Manager Services, it sends the request to port 443.
