Hi guys,
If I need to create an acl for a certain type of traffic, say, smtp, I
happen to know which ports to use.
In the case of smtp, traffic from the smtp server uses a source port of 25
and traffic to the smtp server uses a dest port of 25.
But, assuming I didn't know the specifics of a given protocol, can I
generalize that for this other protocol, it would work the same way as smtp?
IOW, if port X is the destination port used TO reach a given application,
then port X becomes the source for traffic FROM this application?
Does this generalization hold up equally well for UDP based apps as for TCP
apps?
TIA, Tim
