Default TCP Port Values and Protocol Directions Used by ISC

Command-Line Interfaces Used by ISC

Default TCP Port Values and Protocol Directions Used by ISC

ISC uses various Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) ports during its operation. Most TCP ports are configured during the installation. Table D-1 and Table D-2 specify the most vital TCP primary and optional ports, respectively, their default values, and the direction.

The values selected during the installation can be retrieved from the file $ISC_HOME/etc/install.cfg. Most of these ports only need to be allowed if you are allowing users to access ISC from outside your firewall. These ports are used by ISC to communicate between the database server and its support servers (processing server, interface server, and so on), if they are installed.

ISC uses or can us the protocols specified in Table D-3 to communicate with the routers under its configuration control.


Note The selected protocol for each of the following categories must be able to pass through any firewalls between ISC and the devices:
1. Terminal Session Protocol - default: Telnet; SSH; CNS*; rsh
2. Configuration Access Protocol - default: selected Terminal Session Protocol; TFTP; FTP; rcp
3. SNMP - default: SNMPv1/v2c; SNMPv3
* CNS is a transport mechanism that uses the TIB/Rendezvous event bus to communicate with an IE2100..

Table D-3 Protocols and Directions with ISC

Protocols
(listed alphabetically)

NFS

Between ISC and TFTP or FTP server if server is on a different machine. (Can be blocked if you do not use FTP or TFTP.)

rcp
