Is port 3830 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 3830. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for monitoring & logging services:

  • Restrict management and monitoring protocols to the monitoring network.
  • Replace community strings and default credentials.
  • Send logs over TLS.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 3830, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :3830'      # process listening on 3830
sudo lsof -nP -i :3830

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :3830

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 3830 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 3830
netstat -ano | findstr :3830

From another machine

nmap -p 3830 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 3830 <host>
nc -zv <host> 3830

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 3830/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)

04 FAQ
What is port 3830 used for?

Port 3830 is assigned by IANA to cernsysmgmtagt (Cerner System Management Agent).

Is port 3830 TCP or UDP?

Port 3830 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 3830?

It depends on the program that listens on it. Open it only for a service you know and only to the networks that need it. Restrict management and monitoring protocols to the monitoring network.

How do I check if port 3830 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :3830'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :3830", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :3830" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 3830 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
