It is whatever you set it to. The port in outputs.conf on the forwarder needs to match the port in inputs.conf on the indexer

By default, it's port 9997. Please refer to Splunk Docs to obtain further information on this topic. And remember you can change receiving/admin ports as you please (for example, in case of 2 splunk installations on the same host).

Stefano

If a port on the system is already used by an application then by definition it is not available to be used by other applications.
