Port configuration for multichain

Question

I am trying to interface a block chain initialized and configured using multichain. In this process, I have created a VM instance inside which the multichain software resides. To connect to multichain using the JSON-RPC calls, one of the things I believe that is needed is a port within the VM that can be exposed by multichain. Is there a definite port set up by default by multichain upon creating a block? What range of ports is suggested?

Answer 1

Unless you override it in the runtime parameters for your MultiChain instance, the port is defined by the default-rpc-port setting in the blockchain parameters file.
