Hi guys,
I need to open ports on my AIX machine. The only way I know is to use service name to disable or enable ports which are used by the services. I found in /etc/services that the ports are unidentified. Btw, I want to open port number 11576 and 11577. Need help on this one. Thanks! 
The ports are opened, you just need to bind an application to listen on this port. Before that, make sure that nothing is connected on this port, verify with "netstat -na | grep "number of the port". Stop the applications running and start yours. Also, make sure that these ports are allowed at the firewall if any.
