asterisk is supos to be runing on port udp 4569 but which i do a nmap -sU on the box which only nmaps for udp i dont get any 4569 only 111, 123, 668 and 671 what is going on here?
I need to figure out this port stuff so I can open it on my firewall
No idea - you’re doing it, why don’t you tell us what’s going on? It doesn’t make any sense to me.
But why use nmap if you just want to find out what ports are open on the local machine? Try:
netstat -a
Use nmap to find out open ports on remote machines - that’s what it’s meant for.
sorry about the confusion, when I said asterisk I ment IAX2.
I am working on opening us some holes in my firewall so that IAX2 can get through.
In my IAX.conf file it says that
[general]
;bindport=4569 ; bindport and bindaddr may be specified
; ; NOTE: bindport must be specified BEFORE bindaddris 4569 which is also what voip-info.org says is the port that needs to be opened up to work.
then my
homer:/etc/asterisk# netstat -a
