  • Well Known TCP and UDP Ports Used by Apple Software Products
    Well known TCP and UDP ports used by Apple Languages English software products Symptoms Learn more about TCP and UDP ports used by Apple products, such as OS X, OS X Server, Apple Remote Desktop, and iCloud. Many of these are referred to as "well known" industry standard ports. Resolution 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 article is updated periodically and contains information that is 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. Tip: Some services may use two or more ports. It is recommend that once you've found an instance of a product in this list, search on the name (Command-F) and then repeat (Command-G) to locate all occurrences of the product. For example, VPN service may use up to four diferent ports: 500, 1701, 1723, and 4500.
