How to open all 7 udp ports for amazon echo using the c6300

I have added Amazon Echo ports 123, 443, 4070, 5353, 40317, 49317 and 33434. Only 4070 is open. Is this correct or do I need to do something different to complete setup?

thanks

    Echo should not need any port forwarding. why are you doing it?

      Amazon said UDP ports 123, 443, 4070, 5353, 40317, 49317, and 33434 need to be open to traffic. Echo Alexa needs these ports open to work correctly.

        It should automatically work as ECHO should support UPnP. 

         

        is it not working? 

  • Make sure you know which direction you need to open ports (inbound vs outbound).  That said, I would be surprised if you have to open any ports in the inbound direction for general usage.
