Polycom Broadcast
Port 6771 UDP is typically used by Polycom conferencing systems to facilitate server broadcasts and device auto-discovery within corporate and enterprise networks, enabling seamless deployment and management of voice and video solutions..
Port 6771 UDP is primarily leveraged by Polycom (now part of Poly, a HP Company) for its conferencing hardware and software systems. This port is involved in transmitting broadcast packets, enabling Polycom conferencing endpoints and management servers to automatically detect one another during initial setup and in ongoing operations. This helps streamline provisioning and network integration.
The broadcast on this port often contains device information essential for configuration and management utilities such as Polycom's RealPresence Resource Manager. Using UDP broadcast reduces the need for manual IP configurations, which can be advantageous in large environments with numerous conferencing endpoints.
Because this is an unofficial port assignment, usage might slightly vary depending on firmware versions or custom deployments, but it is generally confined to internal networks. The broadcast traffic is usually limited in scope but can play a critical role in device discovery and seamless unified communication workflows.
