The TCP port for each database instance on the machine. (1433 is the default for SQL Server, 5432 is the default for PostgreSQL).

Named SQL Server instances use dynamic ports by default, so you need to configure a specific TCP port for each named instance.

We additionally recommend enabling SQL Server Browser and allowing access to port 1434. Otherwise, you must configure Redgate Monitor for each named instance with the correct port. See Configure a Server to Listen on a Specific TCP Port.
