The Add Service Table Entry (ADDSRVTBLE) command is used to add a service entry to the service table. You can use the service table to manage the mapping of network services to ports and to record the protocols that the services use.

The service table is shipped with some standard port assignments. Values for common functions supported by Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) are available to the Internet community in the assigned numbers RFC (Request for Comments) document, a formal specification of proposals and standards for a portion of TCP/IP.

Restrictions:

• You must have input/output system configuration (*IOSYSCFG) special authority to run this command.

Port (PORT)

Specifies the port number to be assigned to the service.

This is a required parameter.

1-65535

Specify the port number for the network service.
