DLSw Port Number Usage - TCP & UDP

Introduction: This document lists the source & destination udp & tcp port
numbers used by DLSw

Versions: 11.3 onwards

By default DLSw uses both TCP & UDP to communicate between peers from IOS
version 11.3 onwards.

In version before this only TCP was used.

For UDP, each DLSw router will source packets from port 0 going to port
2067 on its peer routers. You can turn off udp via the global config command:

dlsw udp-disable

By default for TCP, the router will source packets from ports anywhere
between 11000-65025 going to port 2065 on its peer router. With DLSw
priority enabled for TCP packets will be sourced from ports 11000-65025
going to ports 1981-1983 & 2065.
These TCP ports must be open bidirectionally between the devices as DLSw
initially builds a TCP session in both direction, before one session is
dropped in Cisco's implementation.

The range of source TCP ports used will change every time the router is
rebooted as a random seed number is generated. However the port will
always be inside the 11000-65025 range as the lower port are reserved for
well-known ports; and reverse-telnet ports.
