Network ports and protocols that are used by services in Windows Services for UNIX 3.5 (891759)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX 3.5

INTRODUCTION

This article lists the network ports and protocols that are used by services on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX 3.5.

A variety of network ports and protocols are used to communicate with client computers and with other server systems over the network. Dedicated firewalls, host-based firewalls, and Internet Protocol security (IPSec) filters are other important components that are required to help secure your network. However, if these technologies are configured to block ports and protocols that a specific server uses, that server will no longer respond to client requests.

This article contains a table that lists the ports and the protocols that each service requires for correct operation. Use the table to help you identify the ports and the protocols that a particular service uses.

MORE INFORMATION

The following table lists the name of the service, the ports and protocols that are used by the service, the alias of the service, and the comment line for the service.

Additionally, Windows Services for UNIX 3.5 can use other ports. For example, the following table lists the Network File System (NFS)-related services that register with the Open Network Computing (ONC) Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service:
Service name
mapsvcUser Name Mapping service
mountdNFS mount daemon
nlockmgrNFS lock manager
statusNetwork status monitor
The four services that are listed in the table listen for both Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) traffic and do not use designated ports. Instead, the services use a port that is available at that particular time and register the port with the Portmapper service. For example, when you run the rpcinfo - p command, you receive the following output:

program  version  protocol   port
----------------------------------------------
100000       2      udp      111    portmapper
100000       2      tcp      111    portmapper

100005       3      udp     1048    mountd
100005       1      tcp     1048    mountd
100005       2      tcp     1048    mountd
100005       3      tcp     1048    mountd
100021       1      udp     1047    nlockmgr
100021       2      udp     1047    nlockmgr
100021       3      udp     1047    nlockmgr
100021       4      udp     1047    nlockmgr
100021       1      tcp     1047    nlockmgr
100021       2      tcp     1047    nlockmgr
100021       3      tcp     1047    nlockmgr
100021       4      tcp     1047    nlockmgr
100024       1      udp     1039    status
100024       1      tcp     1039    status
100003       2      udp     2049    nfs
100003       3      udp     2049    nfs
100003       2      tcp     2049    nfs
100003       3      tcp     2049    nfs

In this example, only the Portmapper service and the NFS service use standard ports.

Additional notes:
  • Custom Interix applications and third-party Interix applications may bind to additional ports.
  • If you add a "camp-" prefix to the name of the service in the /etc/inetd.conf file, Interix determines the port that the service uses. However, Interix does not the start the service when a request is made. By adding the prefix, you disable the service, and you restrict other applications from using that port.

    Note Do not include the quotation marks in the prefix.
