Firewall Port Check Utility for VCSe

[Saurabh Gupta]

Hi Experts,

Is there any way , we can check if all the required ports for VCSc and VCSe configuration are opened on firewall through some utility or some commands?

I am going to proceed fir VCSe config with VCSc and I want to make sure that all the required ports for H323/SIP/RTP etc are open , without relying on Customer's Network Admins

Any reply in this regard would be appreciable.

Thanks,

Saurabh

Hi

I think this utility is not been updated for quite sometime. Basically its easy if you see the firewall deplyoment guide to get the ports required and capture a tcp dump and you will get the idea on this..

below are the ports what you requite basically between internal to DMZ

Source	Destination	Source Port	Destination Port	Description
TMS Server/mangment subnet	VCS-Expressway	Any	TCP-80/443	Administration
			TCP-22
			UDP-161
VCS-control	VCS-express	TCP-25000-29999	TCP-7001	SIP – Signalling
VCS-control	VCS-express	UDP-50000-52399	UDP-2776	SIP – RTP/RTCP
			UDP-2777
VCS-control	VCS-express	UDP-1719	UDP-6001	H.323 – Initial RAS connection
VCS-control	VCS-express	TCP-15000-19999	TCP-2776	H.323 – Q.931/H.225 Signalling
VCS-control	VCS-express	TCP-15000-19999	TCP-2776	H.323 – H.245
VCS-control	VCS-express	UDP-50000-52399	UDP-2776	H.323 – Assent RTP/RTCP
			UDP-2777

Thanks

Hey Sagsheth,

Please send me the tool as well.

The port tester “IPT.exe” is developed for port testing to Boarder Controller product and haven’t updated for some time already.

Please note that this tool may use against VCS for testing H.323 connectivity but may not cover all requirements.

Cisco is currently plan for releasing update version of port tester in 2013 including SIP port testing capability.

[maciej_wilk]

The default Border Controller seems not to be working. Is this expected?

Kind regards

[Tomonori Taniguchi]

Yes, that is expected result as original IPT program point to test BC server hosted by TANDBERG which has removed after Cisco acquisition.

Any idea when in 2013?  ty.

[Tomonori Taniguchi]

Due to other high priority implantation, very unfortunately port tester for VCS product yet made much progress.
