That is determined by the Distributed COM (DCOM) layer on the WUG computer.
You can control this by running DCOMCNFG.EXE and configuring the "Windows
Management Instrumentation" object to use particular ports.  That's a
standard tool that comes with Windows.

It is possible, depending on what firewall you are running.  For this and
other reasons there is in fact a keep-alive mechanism on the connections.
You can configure how long between the keep-alives with registry keys here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ipswitch\WhatsUp\Event\WLogEvnt

The two values there are in seconds, the one to adjust for keep-alives is
called "IdleInterval".
