How Do I Allow Webex Meetings Traffic on My Network?

This article is intended for Network Administrators who want to support the Webex Meetings Client and Video Collaboration Devices for use on their company's network. The guide covers ports, IP ranges, and domains required by the meeting client, video collaboration devices, and Webex Edge audio.

If you're joining Webex Meetings from any of the following applications or devices, please use this article:

  • Webex App (Desktop, Mobile, and Web Based)
  • Cloud Registered Webex Devices (including Webex Boards)
Webex website, Webex Desktop App/Productivity Tools, Webex Meetings for Android/iOS, Webex Web App
ProtocolPort Number(s)DirectionAccess TypeComments
TCP80 / 443OutboundWebex Client Access port and Webex Events (Audio Streaming)Webex client signaling port is used to exchange initial meeting setup information. Fall-back port for media connectivity when UDP ports are not open in the firewall. Webex Events Audio Broadcast transmission.
TCP/UDP53OutboundDNSUsed for DNS lookups to discover the IP addresses of Webex servers in the cloud. Even though typical DNS lookups are done over UDP, some may require TCP, if the query responses cannot fit it in UDP packets.
UDP9000Outbound to WebexPrimary Webex Client Media (VoIP & Video RTP)Webex client media port is used to exchange computer audio, webcam video, and content sharing streams. Opening this port is required to ensure the best possible media experience
TCP5004, 443, 80Outbound to WebexAlternate Webex Client Media (VoIP & Video RTP)Fall-back ports for media connectivity when UDP port 9000 is not open in the firewall
TCP/UDPOperating System Specific Ephemeral PortsInboundReturn traffic from WebexWebex will communicate to the destination port received when the client makes its connection.  A firewall should be configured to allow these return connections through. 
 
TCP443InboundProximityThe connecting device must have an IPv4 route-able path between itself and the device using HTTPS.
UDP5004OutboundWebex Client MediaThe UDP port  5004 is used for out-of-meeting sharing to Cisco Video Collaboration Devices.
 

These ports are provided as a reference only.  Please refer to the deployment guide/manufacturer recommendation for full details.

TCP5060-5070OutboundSIP signalingThe Webex media edge listens on 5060 - 5070.

TCP / UDP1719, 1720 and port 15000-19999Inbound and OutboundH.323 LSIf your endpoint requires gatekeeper communication, also open port 1719, which includes Lifesize.
TCP/UDPEphemeral Ports
36000-59999
Inbound and OutboundMedia portsIf you're using a Cisco Expressway, the media ranges need to be set to 36000-59999. If you are using a third party endpoint or call control, they need to be configured to use this range.

For on-premise Video Device network configuration, refer to Cisco Expressway IP Port Usage - Configuration Guide.

For Video Integration with Microsoft Teams (VIMT) deployment guidance, refer to Deploy the Webex Video Integration for Microsoft Teams.

If you have Webex app Desktop Clients, Cloud Registered Devices (including Webex Boards) connecting to Webex Meetings, you also need to allow the list of domains outlined in https://help.webex.com/WBX000028782/Network-Requirements-for-Webex-Teams-Services 
All Webex hosted services are advertised under AS13445, refer to the Webex Peering Policy. Services hosted by other service providers are not included here.  This includes TSP partner systems or our content delivery partners.  If you are connecting to partner-hosted systems such as a Partner VoIP system, please contact the partner for the appropriate IP addresses and ports.

Guidance on IPS firewall:
  • Bypass firewall IPS or other types of DoS protection(allowed) for Webex traffic (defined by Webex IP CIDR blocks), especially the media traffic.
  • If IPS can not be a bypass, proper sizing is required to be carried out to ensure IPS have sufficient capacity to handle the audio and video throughput for a large number of participants.
  • If IPS can not be a bypass, proper fine-tuning of the signature and threshold has to be achieved so that Webex traffic is not misclassified and subsequently dropped.
  • Monitor firewall IPS alerts to investigate any IPS alert against Webex traffic.
Note: The following UserAgents will be passed by Webex by the utiltp process in Webex, and should be allowed through an agency's firewall:
  • UserAgent=WebexInMeetingWin
  • UserAgent=WebexInMeetingMac
  • UserAgent=prefetchDocShow
  • UserAgent=standby

Guidance on Proxy servers:
  • The Webex meeting client does not support SNI extension for TLS media connections. Connection failure to the Webex audio and video services will occur if a proxy server requires the presence of SNI.
