Using ASA 5520. It is the only port that will allow me to connect, remotely, to my SQL server via SQL Server Management Studio. I tried 1433 &amp; 1434, but to know avail.</P><P></P><P>TIA </P> Mon, 11 Mar 2019 15:22:56 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/port-4697/m-p/1171933#M860539 mgar18777 2019-03-11T15:22:56Z Re: Port 4697? https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/port-4697/m-p/1171934#M860540 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>You can open 4697 if that's the only one that will work.
