Resolution

Protocol Port Type Description
TCP 21 / 22 FTP/SFTP Flat files sent from CUCM to CDA Proxy (CUCM v5.x / 6.x). This is configurable in the Windows FTP dialogs (built into IIS).
TCP 80 Web HTTP requests between the Phone Quality Proxy and the Cisco IP Phones.
TCP 80 Web HTTP requests between Vivinet Diagnostics and the Cisco IP Phones.
UDP 161 SNMP SNMP read requests between Network Device Module and network devices
SNMP read requests between Vivinet Diagnostics and the CCM publisher.
SNMP read requests between Vivinet Diagnostics and the Layer 2 devices.
SNMP read/write requests between Vivinet Diagnostics and the Layer 3 devices.
UDP 162 SNMP TRAP SNMP 161 is Proxy listening port used for Traps, sent from the CUCM (this is changeable).
TCP 443 SSL TCP  443 is used only for one Knowledge Script (WebPageCheck) This is not changeable.
TCP 1433 ODBC ODBC requests between the CDA proxy and the CUCM Publisher. (CUCM v3.x / 4.x)
TCP 1433 AXL/HTTP requests between the Vivinet Diagnostics and the CCM Publisher.
TCP 8433 AXL default port for the AXL communication between CUCM and Proxy. This Port is changeable (See Note)
TCP 10115 Used for comunications to and between Performance Endpoints
TCP 10116 Used by Performance Endpoints  to report test results back to Proxy and  VA or Vdiag consoles.
RTP 16383+ If Cisco SAA (IP SLA) in enabled then Vivinet Diagnostics uses that for the remote Layer 3 traceroutes and if there are problems detected then for SAA Jitter tests. This functionality requires access to a write MIBs.
If NetIQ endpoints are used the RTP ports 16383+ are used to do remote traceroutes and VoIP RTP test calls.

Additional Information

Formerly known as NETIQKB71783

If the default AXL HTTPS port (8443) is changed in the CCM admin, you can specify the new port in the AppManager Security Manager settings. This port is can be changed. This AXL communication is used for most of the Knowledge Scripts in the module, including Discovery. The AppManager Proxy initiates the requests.
