Port numbers

A filter can also match a packet’s por t number attributes, but only if the filter’s protocol
type is set to TCP or UDP, since only those protocols use por t numbers. The filter can be
configured to match the following:

The source por t number (the por t on the sending host that originated the packet)

The destination por t number (the por t on the receiving host that the packet is destined
for)

By matching on a por t number, a filter can be applied to selected TCP or UDP ser vices,
such as Telnet, FTP, and World Wide Web. The following tables show a few common ser-
vices and their associated por t numbers:

Port number comparisons

A filter can also use a comparison option to evaluate a packet’s source or destination por t
number. The comparison options are:

No Compare: No comparison of the port number specified in the filter with the
packet’s por t number.

Not Equal To: For the filter to match, the packet’s port number cannot equal the port
number specified in the filter.
