Port problems

["Carey Jeff - jcarey" <Jeff.Carey@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm wonderin if anyone has dealt with this.  Our network/firewall team is 
having a bit of a problem opening ports that we need to manage the iSeries.  
They complain that IBM has "stolen" ports registered to other services with the 
IANA.  For example, port 2300 needed for HMC console telnet is registered to HP 
CVMMON.  While it seems this registry is just a record for convenience, has 
anyone else had to deal with this?  Anyone from IBM have the reasoning on why 
ports are not registered?
