on which port my asterisk software is running

Question

Is there a way to find out on which port my asterisk software is running using command line interface or by any other way?

Answer 1

Asterisk supports more Protocols than SIP and IAX2, but these Ports are the typical Voice-Protocol Ports and may get forwarded from your Router (Firewall) to the Asterisk Server (because of NAT):

• UDP:5060 SIP (sip.conf), newer Versions support TCP:5060
• UDP:10000-20000 RTP (rtp.conf) for the media stream, a higher Portrange
• UDP:5036 IAX2

You can also check the asterisk (modules) ports with:

lsof -n -i -P

You may find additional ports, based on your loaded modules (modules.conf) and configuration, for example TCP:5038 (manager.conf).

List your modules with:

asterisk -rx 'module show'

or for older versions: asterisk -rx 'show modules' .

Modules can be autoloaded and disabled with noload => modulename.so in modules.conf.

Answer 2

On the sip.conf file, located at /etc/asterisk/sip.conf it will tell you which port it will run.

For example:

[general]
port = 5060
bindaddr = 0.0.0.0
context = error
qualify=no
srvlookup=yes
