tcp/udp port numbers used in iscsi replication

[Willie]

Does anyone know what port number is used for iscsi replication? I need the port
numbers so that I can configure the firewall to allow the traffic to pass through.

Best regards

Hi

The well-known user TCP port number for iSCSI connections assigned by
IANA is 3260 and this is the default iSCSI port. Implementations
needing a system TCP port number may use port 860, the port assigned by
IANA as the iSCSI system port; however in order to use port 860, it
MUST be explicitly specified - implementations MUST NOT default to use
of port 860, as 3260 is the only allowed default.
Also associated with iSCSI is iSNS, Internet Storage Name Service, on
port 3205.

These services essentially open up your storage to the Internet in ways
even more deep than CIFS, NFS and other file-level sharing services.
Therefore you should be very careful about security and may want to
block these ports completely, or tightly limit access to them.

for more Information on iSCSI see here: 'RFC 3720'
(http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3720.html)
