Chip,
The port numbers don't need to match on either side. Traffic coming TO the SBC will be in the 35000 - 36000 range, and the traffic coming TO the MGs will be in the 2048-3329 range. The default range for the SBCE is 35000 - 40000. These are essentially just arbitrary numbers, but are important if there are any firewalls between the devices (you would need to open up the firewall for those specific UDP ranges for traffic to work right). The other thing to note is that your range needs to be big enough to handle the amount of traffic you are expecting from that device. 35000 - 36000 allows for appx 500 simultaneous voice conversations (could be as much as 1,000, but you need to account for call recording, conference calls, etc to deduct from that number).

Subject: UDP Port range in IP-network-region & SBC
Hi all,
When we first set up our CM 6.3 a few years back, we set up a small, physical SBC at the same time. (Now it's virtualized SBC/EMS.) Reviewing my notes, it looks like we used ports 35000-36000 for RTP/RTCP SRTP/STRCP connection between the SBC and CM/SM. No big deal, worked fine.
In the mean time, we've grown our Avaya footprint and set up multiple new G450 & G430 gateways in a few other buildings. When I check the ip-network-regions that correspond to those new buildings, the UDP Port Min/Max fields are set with 2048-3329. Swell, it all works great.
However, when I look at my original ip-network-region, I have an entry of 35000-36000 in the UDP Port Min/Max. Everything is still working fine, EXCEPT I can't make any changes in the ip-network-region because it tells me "Region is used by a g450 media gateway; UDP port range must be 1280 or greater."
I'm thinking I should change those UDP port values to the default 2048-3329 (a 1282 port range), but I don't want to mess up anything in my SBC. What do you all think?
Thank you as always!
Chip
