03 Check it

Which program uses port 2697, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :2697'      # process listening on 2697
sudo lsof -nP -i :2697

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :2697

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 2697 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess

netstat -ano | findstr :2697

From another machine

nmap -p 2697 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 2697 <host>
nc -zv <host> 2697

Block it in the firewall

Port 2697 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 2697?

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 2697 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :2697'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :2697", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :2697" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 2697 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
