If you are not using inbound agents, it's recommended that you disable this
entirely, which is the default installation behavior.
Jenkins uses a TCP port to communicate with agents connected inbound.
If you're going to use inbound agents, you can allow the system to randomly
select a port at launch (this avoids interfering with other programs,
including other Jenkins instances).
As it's hard for firewalls to secure a random port, you can instead
specify a fixed port number and configure your firewall accordingly.
