What ports does the broker use?

The broker defaults to use port 5672 at startup for AMQP traffic.
If the management interface is enabled it starts on port 8999 by default.

Since Qpid 0.5 the management interface uses two ports. The specfied management port (Default:8999) and a port 100 higher (Default:9099). It is not possible to specify the second port, it is always 100 higher than the specified management port.

How can I change the port the broker uses at runtime ?

The broker defaults to use port 5672 at startup for AMQP traffic.
The broker also uses port 8999 for the JMX Management interface.

To change this, the AMQP traffic port use the -p flag at startup. To change the management port use -m
i.e. qpid-server -p <port_number_to_use> -m <port_number_to_use>

Use this to get round any issues on your host server with port 5672/8999 being in use/unavailable.

For additional details on what ports the broker uses see this FAQ entry.
