CUCM adding billing application server with port

[murindagomo]

Hi all.
I want to add a billing application server to CUCM whose FTP is not using the default port.
The Host Name or IP Address field only accepts an IP address without port number.
Application billing server =  FTP = 192.168.1.1 2001.

How do I enter it?

[Jonathan Schulenberg]

The norm is a colon. 192.168.1.2:2001. If that doesn’t work it likely isn’t supported.

[murindagomo]

Thanks for the response.The colon doesn't to work. Any other suggestions?

I believe it must be supported as the default port is not always a must for FTP.

No, it is not supported.

If the billing server you have was certified for Cisco CUCM, it should know it cannot use any other port.

I wish in future Cisco allows us to use a port of our choice to suit our security and move away from defaults.

Submit a PER via your SE/AM so this can be considered in the future.
