  • 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 3716, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :3716'      # process listening on 3716
sudo lsof -nP -i :3716

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :3716

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 3716 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 3716
netstat -ano | findstr :3716

From another machine

nmap -p 3716 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 3716 <host>
nc -zv <host> 3716

Block it in the firewall

Port 3716 is assigned by IANA to wv-csp-sms-cir (WV CSP SMS CIR Channel).

Is port 3716 TCP or UDP?

Port 3716 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 3716?

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 3716 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :3716'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :3716", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :3716" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 3716 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
