What is Port 9080?
Port 9080 is the default non-HTTPS HTTP transport port for IBM WebSphere Application Server, used for HTTP communication in WebSphere deployments without SSL. It is commonly used in internal application server configurations behind a load balancer or reverse proxy that handles SSL termination. GlassFish and JBoss also use this as an alternate HTTP port in some configurations.
