Configuring the Junos OS to Extend the Default Port Address Range

By default, the upper range of a port address is 5000. You can increase the range from which the port number can be selected to decrease the probability that someone can determine your port number.

  • To configure the Junos OS to extend the default port address range, include the source-port statement at the [edit system internet-options] hierarchy level:
    [edit system internet-options]source-port upper-limit upper-limit;

upper-limit upper-limit is the upper limit of a source port address and can be a value from 5000 through 65,355.
