- Industrial and IoT protocols often have no authentication: never expose them to the Internet.
- Segment OT networks from IT and use protocol-aware firewalls.
- Monitor with an ICS-aware intrusion detection system.
Port 47100: Configuration of motors connected to Industrial Ethernet
Port 47100 is assigned by IANA to jvl-mactalk (Configuration of motors connected to Industrial Ethernet).

Is port 47100 dangerous?
We have no specific security note for port 47100. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for iot & industrial (ics) services:

Which program uses port 47100, and is it reachable?
Linux
sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :47100' # process listening on 47100
sudo lsof -nP -i :47100macOS
sudo lsof -nP -i :47100
Windows (PowerShell)
Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 47100 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 47100 netstat -ano | findstr :47100
From another machine
nmap -p 47100 -sV <host> sudo nmap -sU -p 47100 <host> nc -zv <host> 47100
Block it in the firewall
sudo ufw deny 47100/udp # Linux (ufw) New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 47100" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 47100 -Protocol UDP -Action Block # Windows
What is port 47100 used for?
Port 47100 is assigned by IANA to jvl-mactalk (Configuration of motors connected to Industrial Ethernet).
Is port 47100 TCP or UDP?
Port 47100 is registered for UDP.
Is it safe to open port 47100?
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. Industrial and IoT protocols often have no authentication: never expose them to the Internet.
How do I check if port 47100 is open?
On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :47100'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :47100", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :47100" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 47100 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
