Something different, default is 1501, you can use anything, as long as the firewall ports are opened.
You need to update the LLA on the node to match the tcpclientport.
Did you store the client password on the client? You'd use
DSMC SET PASSWORD for that.
Once you fix the LLA, TCPClientport and set the password, you should be good to go. Define a schedule as normal, and associate the node to that schedule.
Unfortunately I don't get this to work. Could not set password on the node:
[root@node1]# dsmc set password
