Firewall requirements for Zoom Mesh


While the Zoom Mesh service utilizes the Zoom Client for the eCDN service, there are firewall rules that must be added to ensure there are no issues when utilizing the Zoom Mesh service.

Internal network requirements for Zoom Mesh

Note: These firewall rules are for both incoming and outgoing traffic, except for Parent-Child Discovery.

Purpose

ProtocolPorts

Parent-Child Discovery

UDP (Multicast)224.1.1.1:36699

Parent-Child Control Traffic

TCP (TLS)

18801-19800

Parent-Child Media Relay

UDP

18801-19800

Note: Multicast is used within the network segment for discovery. However, multicast routing is not required or suggested.

*Note: Port separation for media (UDP 8801-8803) is supported. Adjust the firewall rule to include 8802 and 8803 if port separation is enabled.

**Note: Multicast is used within the network segment for discovery. However, multicast routing is not required or suggested.

***Note: The Zoom Client will fall back to TCP 443 if UDP 8801 is unavailable.
