"Well Known" TCP and UDP Ports Used By Apple Software Products 3/19/04 10:32 AM

TITLE Article ID: 106439 Created: 8/27/01 "Well Known" TCP and UDP Ports Used By Apple Software Products Modified: 3/8/04

TOPIC

This document lists TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products, such as Mac OS 9, Mac OS X, Mac OS X Server, AppleShare IP, Network Assistant, Apple Remote Desktop, Macintosh Manager, and .Mac. Many of these are referred to as "well known," industry standard ports.

DISCUSSION About this table

The Service or Protocol Name column lists services registered with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (http://www.iana.org /), except where noted as "unregistered use." The names of Apple products that use these services or protocols appear in the Used By/Additional Information column.

The RFC column lists the number of the Request For Comment document that defines the particular service or protocol, which may be used for reference. RFC documents are maintained by RFC Editor (http://www.rfc-editor.org /). If multiple RFCs define a protocol, there may only be one listed here.

This document is updated periodically, and the information listed is that available at time of publication. This document is intended as a quick reference and should not be regarded as comprehensive. Apple products listed in the table are the most commonly used examples, not a comprehensive list. For more information, review the Notes below the table.

Notes

1. Not all ports and services listed are present in or used by all software products. Some applications, such as Workgroup Manager, require more than one port and are listed accordingly. 2. Network administrators may wish to use port-watching software in addition to this information when making decisions about how to set up firewalls or similar access control schemes. 3. For an explanation of what a TCP or UDP port is, see the "IP Ports" section of technical document 106770, "Mac OS X: What Is a Port? "

4. In Mac OS X Server 10.0.3 and later, some services that do not use well-known ports register with portmap. Use the rpcinfo -p command in Terminal to see what is registered with portmap. 5. The NetInfo parent-child model has replaced Shared Users and Groups in Mac OS X Server 10.0.3 and later. 6. Remote Admin on port 311 has been removed in Mac OS X Server 10.0.3 and later. 7. With performance cache enabled in Mac OS X Server 10.0.3 and later, Apache is on port 16080 and cache is on port 80. 8. This table includes features and ports used by Mac OS X 10.3 Panther. Earlier versions of Mac OS X do not have all the features listed here.
