Common Network Ports
Well-known TCP and UDP ports for common network services.
Default port numbers and transport protocols for the services that account for most real traffic and most firewall rules: web, mail, remote access, name resolution, directory, file sharing, messaging and common databases. Each row gives the number, whether it is TCP or UDP, the service and what it is for.
Use it when
- You are writing or reviewing firewall, security-group or network-policy rules.
- You need to recognize a service from a port number in a log or a scan.
Watch out for
- These are default assignments. Any service can be moved to another port, and a port number alone does not prove what is listening.
- Several services use more than one port or both transports; the row lists the primary default.
