What is the standard port for secure NETCONF communication?

The standard port for secure NETCONF communication is 830. NETCONF (Network Configuration Protocol) is used to manage network devices and applications, facilitating the configuration, control, and monitoring of network devices. It operates primarily over SSH (Secure Shell) for secure communication, and port 830 is specifically designated for this protocol.

Using this port allows NETCONF to ensure that the management traffic is encrypted and secure from interception. This is particularly important in networking environments where sensitive configuration data could be exposed to unauthorized access if transmitted in an insecure manner. Other ports mentioned serve different protocols; for example, port 22 is commonly used for SSH but is not specifically designated for NETCONF. Port 80 is associated with HTTP, and port 443 is used for HTTPS, neither of which are applicable for NETCONF communication.
