The agents on your servers are connected to a pub/sub system (stomp usually). that's the port you're referring to.
the commands get sent into that pub/sub system , agents do stuff and send back replies using the same pub/sub setup. you pull the replies off that. there's no direct connection between the 'console' (system running mco commands) and your agents.
