Cheatsheet - Default Ports of popular network / internet protocols and databases

An attempt to collect the default port for the most used server programs as cheatsheet


So many times I have to go to official documentation of network protocols or databases to find out what is the default port for that particular tool. So I created a cheatsheet and listed down default port at a single place.

This is not a comprehensive list but should cover most of the popular ones. I will keep adding more as I keep encountering new tools during my development or learning cycle.

Networking / Internet protocol default port

SSH (Secure Shell) 22 (TCP)
Telnet (Remote Terminal Protocol) 23 (TCP)
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) 25 (TCP)

RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) 1812 (UDP)
RADIUS Accounting 1813 (UDP)
IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) 143 (TCP)
IMAPS (IMAP Secure) 993 (TCP)
POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3) 110 (TCP)
POP3S (POP3 Secure) 995 (TCP)
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) 5060 (UDP/TCP)
SIPS (SIP Secure) 5061 (TCP)
RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) 554 (TCP/UDP)
WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) 8080 (TCP)
IPsec NAT-T (IPsec Network Address Translation Traversal) 4500 (UDP)
BitTorrent 6881-6889 (TCP/UDP)

Common Database default ports


Service Default Port (TCP)
MySQL Database Server 3306
PostgreSQL Database Server 5432
Redis (In-memory Data Structure Store) 6379
MongoDB (NoSQL Database) 27017
Cassandra (Apache Cassandra) 9042

Please note that while these are the default ports for the respective protocols and databases, actual port configurations may vary depending on the specific setup and configurations of the systems in use. Also rely on the official documentation in case things are not working out for your setup.
