TCP Port and Protocol

[Former Member]

Hello,

Would anyone be able to supply with with some more information on the protocol used to communicate with the DB. For example port/protocol.

I'm looking to write a rule to match this traffic, so any resources like .pcap's or RFCs would be a great help.

Thanks in advance,

Kenny

Hi Kenny,

I guess the protocol is not too well documented - although you might well check the XSERVER source code - it should be all in there.

The used ports can be easily found in the documentation:

sql6 7210/tcp
sql30  7200/tcp
sapdbni72 7269/tcp

All the network communication is always done from client to xserver and vice versa.

The xserver than does the talking to the dbmserver and the kernel.

Hope that helps for the first steps.
