In addition, you should have completed the following items:
  • Installed WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment with a cell environment
  • Created a deployment manager profile
  • Created a federated node

About this task
Ports are assigned to each proxy server automatically. Depending on your environment, you may need to change the port configuration of the proxy server. For additional information about configuring ports, refer to the WebSphere Application Server 7.0 Information Center.
