Changing media port ranges

Last Updated : Jun 18, 2019 |

About this task

Avaya Aura® MS requires a range of dedicated ports for RTP, SRTP, RTCP, and SRTCP, media connections.

You can configure a contiguous port range for Avaya Aura® MS media ports in the basic configuration mode. You can use the advanced configuration mode to configure several ranges for Avaya Aura® MS media ports. Configuring multiple smaller ranges of ports is useful to avoid overlapping with ports that other software on the server requires.

Perform the following procedure to configure the media port range available for Avaya Aura® MS sessions.

Before you begin

When High Availability is enabled, the Backup server must be stopped before configuring the media port range. Make the configuration change on the Primary server after the Primary server High Availability state displays active. Restart the Primary server to apply the change. This restart results in a loss of service. After the Primary High Availability state displays active, restart the Backup server.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to EM > System Configuration > Network Settings > Advanced Settings > Media Port Ranges.
  2. Choose the Configuration Mode:

    • To configure a contiguous media port range, select Basic.

    • To configure multiple media port ranges, select Advanced.

  3. Choose one of the following:

    • If you have selected the Basic configuration mode, enter the beginning of the port range in the Start Port field. Enter the end of the port range in the End Port field.

    • If you have selected the Advanced configuration mode, click add to create a new range. Enter the beginning of the port range in the Start Port field. Enter the end of the port range in the End Port field.

  4. Click Save.
  5. To restart Avaya Aura® MS and to apply the port changes, click Confirm.
