Changing Audix Port for ASA

nhammer · January 9th, 2007, 12:47 PM

Currently I access my Audix via the network on port 23. Is there a way to change that port number in Audix? In the past I have been able to remotely access it because the IP is a public address. Our firewall people are now blocking port 23 and they told me if I can change that number I can access it remotely again. I know where to change the port in the ASA software but not in Audix.

Thanks!

To my knowledge no you cannot change that port. But I will defer to anyone else that may know otherwise.
What I would do is either get into your network via VPN and then the security would be handled. Or use PAT (Port Address Translation) and come into the Firewall Router on a different port (say 2223) and have the adminstrator map that to internal port 23. Granted this puts the work onto your firewall admin.

Whose decision was it to put your voice mail on the internet? :shame:

Fataldata has some good recommendations - the best being, put it on the internal network, and VPN in. I'd shy away from PAT, it works but it's not as secure.

I would change the IP address of your Audix. Make a a 10. address or 192.168. address. This way it's private. There should be no problem with your firewall admin then.

You should recommend they scan for FTP servers operating on unknown ports also. This is very scary that they have servers with public addresses. They are probably overrun with viruses, spyware, malware and all kinds of backdoor devices and servers.

We had a city that used public addressing for all of their servers, when we came in we found 3 FTP servers up and active serving porn for who knows how long. But I blame the admins in that case.

Why not use SSH then and port 22 ?

They can't lock the port down based on NAT and which address you're coming from?

I can't say as I disagree with disabling carte blanche public access to port 23 on your firewall.

As to your inital question, I do not think you can do this. Avaya possibly....
