Description

In hbase-default.xml

+  <property>
+    <name>hbase.status.multicast.address.port</name>
+    <value>6100</value>
+    <description>
+      Multicast port to use for the status publication by multicast.
+    </description>
+  </property>

In HConstants it was 60100.

  public static final String STATUS_MULTICAST_PORT = "hbase.status.multicast.port";
  public static final int DEFAULT_STATUS_MULTICAST_PORT = 16100;

(it was 60100 in the code for 0.96 and 0.98.)

I lean towards going with the code as opposed to the config file.
