Step 8 Add a user for PRPC authentication.
It is necessary to add a user for PRPC authentication because Cisco SCA BB requires a username and password when
connecting to the Subscriber Manager.
To add a user for PRPC authentication, use the p3rpc command-line utility. For example:
>p3rpc --set-user --username=pcube --password=pcube-password

Ports Used by the Collection Manager Software
Table 7 describes the TCP/UDP ports on which the Collection Manager software and associated components listen. This table
helps the network administrator understand the behavior of the software and its adherence to the security policy.
The ports that are listed are those ports on which the device listens constantly. Allow access on these port numbers; otherwise,
certain operations may fail.
Some operations (such as file transfer) cause a device to open ports, other than those listed, temporarily; however, these ports
close automatically after the operation ends.
