Cisco SCCP (Skinny)

Cisco SCCP — the "Skinny" call-control protocol between IP phones and Unified Communications Manager.

TCP IANA registry

Description

IANA registers 2000 as cisco-sccp, and Cisco's own firewall documentation states that Unified Communications Manager uses TCP port 2000, the default SCCP port, to serve SCCP clients. A Cisco IP phone opens a TCP connection here to register, then receives call setup, keypad, and display instructions over it while the media itself flows separately over RTP. It also shows up on Cisco routers and gateways running SCCP telephony features.

Exposed to the internet?

Do not expose

SCCP is a cleartext call-control plane — exposing it invites call-setup abuse, toll fraud, and eavesdropping on who is calling whom; keep voice on its own VLAN.
