Which program uses port 45002, and is it reachable?
Linux
sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :45002' # process listening on 45002
sudo lsof -nP -i :45002macOS
sudo lsof -nP -i :45002
Windows (PowerShell)
Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 45002 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 45002 netstat -ano | findstr :45002
From another machine
nmap -p 45002 -sV <host> nc -zv <host> 45002
Block it in the firewall

What is port 45002 used for?
Port 45002 is assigned by IANA to rs-status (Redspeed Status Monitor).
Is port 45002 TCP or UDP?
Port 45002 is registered for TCP.
Is it safe to open port 45002?
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 45002 is open?
On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :45002'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :45002", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :45002" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 45002 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
