Webex Services - Port Numbers and Protocols

This document outlines the port numbers and protocols that need to be opened on a firewall to allow Webex apps and devices to communicate with Webex cloud services. Port 443 must be open for HTTPS signaling, port 444 for secure video mesh signaling, ports 53 and 123 for DNS and NTP, ports 5004 and 9000 for encrypted audio and video, and port 33434 as an alternative for encrypted media. The firewall also needs to allow access to specific IP subnets for Webex media services.

Webex Services – Port Numbers and Protocols

The following table describes ports and protocols that need to be opened on your firewall to allows cloud
registered Webex apps and devices to communicate with Webex cloud signaling and media services.

The Webex apps, devices, and services covered in this table include:
The Webex app, Webex Room devices, Video Mesh Node, Hybrid Data Security node, Directory
Connector, Calendar Connector, Management Connector, Serviceability Connector.
For guidance on ports and protocols for devices and Webex services using SIP can be found in the
section "Network requirements for SIP based Webex services".

(1) If you are using NTP and DNS services within your enterprise network, then ports 53 and 123 do not
need to be opened through your firewall.
(2) The recommendation to open your firewall for encrypted media traffic over UDP/TCP on port 33434
has been deprecated. However, Webex will still probe and use this port if port 5004 is not open.
(3) The Webex Web-based app and Webex SDK do not support media over TLS.
