Is port 7101 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 7101. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for other services services:

  • Close the port if nothing on the host needs it.
  • Identify the process that listens on it (commands below) before opening it in a firewall.
  • Expose a service only to the networks that use it.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 7101, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :7101'      # process listening on 7101
sudo lsof -nP -i :7101

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :7101

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 7101 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 7101
netstat -ano | findstr :7101

From another machine

nmap -p 7101 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 7101 <host>
nc -zv <host> 7101

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 7101/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 7101" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 7101 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 7101 used for?

Port 7101 is assigned by IANA to elcn (Embedded Light Control Network).

Is port 7101 TCP or UDP?

Port 7101 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 7101?

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. Close the port if nothing on the host needs it.

How do I check if port 7101 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :7101'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :7101", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :7101" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 7101 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
