range question<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Probably a dumb question...<BR><BR>I'm a little confused about the
"official" ephemeral port range and cisco callmanager/related products. i've
always ran across at least two different definitions of this port range, example
from wikipedia: <BR>
<P><A title="Berkeley Software Distribution"
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Software_Distribution">BSD</A> used
ports 1024 through 4999 as ephemeral ports, though it is often desirable to
increase this allocation. <BR>The <A title="Internet Assigned Numbers Authority"
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Assigned_Numbers_Authority">IANA</A>
suggests 49152 to 65535 as "dynamic and/or private ports".</P>
<P>The ncFTP page that it lists as a source is even less specific and has
different ranges for different OS platforms. <BR></P>
<P>Does callmanager use the IANA version, or some larger range for example for
H.245, TFTP, etc?</P>The port usage document that I have on ccm 4.1 just lists
"ephemeral" for the ports on some of these protocols, and it even has ephemeral
in its glossary but doesn't define what range its using. <BR><BR>-- <BR>Ed
