Port Utilization for System Services

Port Utilization Table Columns

The columns in the port utilization tables in this document describe the following:

Listener (Process or Application Protocol)

A value representing the server or application and where applicable, the open or proprietary application protocol.

Listener Protocol and Port

An identifier for the TCP or UDP port that the server or application is listening on, along with the IP address for incoming connection requests when acting as a server.

Remote Device (Process or Application Protocol)

The remote application or device making a connection to the server or service specified by the protocol; or listening on the remote protocol and port.

Remote Protocol and Port

The identifier for the TCP or UDP port that the remote service or application is listening on, along with the IP address for incoming connection requests when acting as the server.

Traffic Direction

The direction that traffic flows through the port: Inbound, Bidirectional, Outbound.


Note

  • The operating system dynamically assigns the source port that the local application or service uses to connect to the destination port of a remote device. In most cases, this port is assigned randomly above TCP/UDP 1024.

  • For security reasons, keep open only the ports mentioned in this guide and those required by your application. Keep the rest of the ports blocked.

Real-Time Information Server (RIS) Data Collector service (RISDC)

TCP 2555

Intracluster communication

—

Bidirectional

Used by the RISDC platform service. The Real-time Information Server (RIS) maintains real-time Cisco Unified CM information such as device registration status, performance counter statistics, critical alarms generated, and so on. The Cisco RISDC service provides an interface for applications, such as RTMT, SOAP applications, Cisco Unified CM Administration and AMC to retrieve the information that is stored in all RIS nodes in the cluster.

RISDC

SOAP Port Considerations

The following considerations apply to the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) ports:

  • SOAP monitor uses specific ports to send the corresponding SOAP API requests.

  • Access to the ports are always authenticated with the Username and Password authentication.
