I'm an Apple tech, but not so much a networking tech. I need an external connection(Apple servers) to communicate with a certain software I have, and this was the instructions that was given to me:
Network Requirement
Network administrator will need to open the traffic for the following ports:
Outbound:
wdg1.apple.com: Port: 443
wdg1-alt.apple.com: Port: 443
wdg2.apple.com: Port: 443
wdg2-alt.apple.com: Port: 443
Inbound: (For connections originated from your network)
wdg1.apple.com: Port: all non-privilege high ports (e.g. > 3,200)
wdg1-alt.apple.com: Port: all non-privilege high ports (e.g. > 3,200)
wdg2.apple.com: Port: all non-privilege high ports (e.g. > 3,200)
wdg2-alt.apple.com: Port: all non-privilege high ports (e.g. > 3,200)
e.g. The above Apple servers will need to be able to reply back on https connection (on random high ports) originated from the AppleConnect client application.
How would I go about setting this up? I know how to access my router and access the port forwarding menu, but I don't know what values to put into which field. I have an AT&T router, for those wondering. 2WIRE, I believe.
