The Quantum agents need to retrieve the port data from the Quantum 
service. When the agents start this is done automatically (hence the 
message that you have seen). This can also happen if there is an 
exception in the agent or if the agent is unable to communicate with the 
service - for example there is a problem with the connection between the 
agent and the service (link down, etc).
