GS110TP port 60000 open
Hi,
Does anyone know why there is a service running on port 60000 on this switch? My network monitoring system showed unusual SNMP traffic from the switch, so I ran an nmap scan expecting to find 161 open. Instead I found ports 80, 4242 and 60000 tcp open. I have another larger switch which I scanned to compare and found only the expected 80 and 4242 ports open.
When I browse to the port in firefox, I see a page titled (Broadcom FASTPATH switching) and a list of 'Invalid username' and 'Invalid password' statements . My boot version is B 5.1.0.2, the software version is 5.4.2.33.
Any info would be much appreciated

SNMP is either polling or you see traps sourced from the switch LAN IP. Nothing else sent on it's own.

The ubiquitous Broadcom FASTPATH switching cli around for >> 10 years, when I have it right use admin and your switch password. Note: This is for Netgear support usage only - certain commands cnan fill or force reboot the switch.

Many thanks for explaining. I connected using a telnet client to the service successfully and had a look at the options.
