Cisco ASA ACL built-in port name to number mapping?

michael.whittle
Level 1
Level 1

Hi,

I've developed a Perl REST API to process large Cisco ASA ACL's and find out of there is an existing rule to permit traffic. You may say why not use packet tracer or the ASDM but packet tracer doesn't work on transit interfaces as it can't classify the traffic and ASDM isn't an option as this script I'm writing needs to execute commands from the command line.

Well known ports are automatically translated into a name. So TCP 443 will show as "https" for example. My API takes in the protocol port as a number as an input. I'm trying to find a way to convert the number into the name you will see in an ACL without manually mapping them out based on the ones I already know. Does anyone know if there is a show command to show the port name number mappings or maybe an URL with a comprehensive list of the built in mappings? I've been trawling the web looking for this and I haven't had much luck finding it.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Mike

I hope this helps you in your script, but make sure, these are the port number to name mapping only as per ASA. Do let me know if your query is answered.

HI Micheal,

You can use this site for name to port number mapping for your script:

http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers

Hope this helps

Hi Varun,

Thanks for the reply. I'm very familiar with the IANA site. It doesn't look like Cisco have used that though. I have checked already. Take TCP 1522 for example... if I'm not mistaken that's "sqlnet" on an ASA. This is what IANA says:

ricardo-lm      1522/tcp    Ricardo North America License Manager
ricardo-lm      1522/udp    Ricardo North America License Manager

ricardo-lm???

Regards,

Mike

I am not really sure if there is any documentation that would tell us to what names would the port numbers be converted to, does it just give you the option for port number or provide you the names as well, when you do a '?' after the eq command. I do not have access to me firewall as of now, so wouldnt b able to test.

Hi Mike,

Today morning I had the access to my firewall and these port numbers would be changed to names on ASA.

Thanks again Varun but I've looked at this as well. It shows the name but not what the port is to display that name. There are some obvious ones there but others seem a little obscure and I don't won't to have to go and look each one up.

Thanks a lot.

Hi, is there a way to disable this automatic translation from number to name?

The mapping for sqlnet seems to be incorrect. It is 1521, not 1522:

 

ciscoasa(config)# access-list test extended permit tcp any any eq 1521
ciscoasa(config)# access-list test extended permit tcp any any eq 1522
ciscoasa(config)# show run access-list test
access-list test extended permit tcp any any eq sqlnet
access-list test extended permit tcp any any eq 1522
