And it's not only for RADIUS.
Syslog over TCP has different ports defined in IOS port-map and ASA.

R3(config)#do sh ip port-map | in syslog
Default mapping:  syslog               udp port 514                        
system defined
Default mapping:  syslog-conn          tcp port 601                        
system defined

ASA1(config)# logging host IN 1.1.1.1 ?

configure mode commands/options:
  WORD    Enter <protocol/port>, The protocol over which the syslog message is
          sent, could be TCP or UDP. The allowable range for ports is 1025
          through 65535. The default is port 514 for UDP and 1470 for TCP

What I'm driving to is a pitfall I can run into if I were to inspect RADIUS and 
SYSLOG traffic from ASA by ZFW and relying on the default ports.

Subject: RADIUS ports in ASA and IOS

It's more of a rhetoric question. I'm a little bit disappointed by the fact 
that ASA and IOS developers are not on the same page when defining ports for 
RADIUS.
When you ask the router about it it knows only knew ports:

R3#sh ip port-map | in radius
Default mapping:  radius               udp port 1812,1813                  
system defined

ASA on the other hand references older RADIUS ports 1645 and 1646 in their 
reference guides:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa82/configuration/guide/ref_ports.html#wp1007738

I wonder will I lose points if I forget include both protocol sets?
