I know that GS1 and other organizations, like GISB/NAESB specify ports; however it is my personal opinion that ports should be part of an agreement between trading partners and not part of a protocol. Security is the responsibility of the organization allowing inbound data to their enterprise. This also provides a degree of security through obscurity that is NOT public knowledge but a collaborative agreement between business to business.

Normally, the partner tells you what port you are supposed to send to you and you tell them what port you listen on. Ken -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Earl Wertheimer Sent: Wednesday, May 10, 2006 9:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [EDI-L] The Joys of AS2 A large retail chain up here in Canada is moving to AS2. They have listed 5 useable ports - 80, 2080, 4080, 5080 & 9080. They are also requiring Drummond Group certification ;-( I looked at a list of our existing AS2 clients, and only 20% of them use one of these ports. The rest use other ports. This has not been a problem in the past, since all of our clients were doing AS2 with WalMart and possibly one other TP. As additional hubs switch to AS2, this may become a problem... We are using bTrade... The AS2 server has to listen on a particular port, so my question is: How do you accommodate multiple AS2 ports? Doing a port redirect in the firewall/router is one option... Any others? thanks Earl Wertheimer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.spe-edi.com ...
