Port 1025
NFS / IIS / Teradata
Port 1025 is commonly associated with multiple services, including Network File System (NFS), Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) administration, and Teradata database systems. These services may use this high-numbered port dynamically or for specific management, file sharing, or database communication functions..
Technical Details
Port 1025 serves multiple purposes and may host different services depending on the system configuration:
-
NFS (Network File System): Occasionally, NFS may utilize port 1025 for auxiliary or dynamic services. Primarily designed for distributed file sharing across networked Unix systems, NFS typically uses port 2049 for its core functions but leverages dynamic ports like 1025 through the portmapper (RPC) for auxiliary operations.
-
IIS (Internet Information Services): On Windows servers, this port is sometimes used for remote administration or auxiliary services related to IIS. It can be opened dynamically by certain IIS extensions, web-based management tools, or RPC endpoints.
-
Teradata: This enterprise database platform may use port 1025 for certain database components or for client/server communications during distributed database operations. Often, database environments allow dynamic port assignments, and 1025 could serve as such in some configurations.
Because port 1025 is a high-numbered, non-standard port, it can vary significantly in use cases depending on specific environment setups.
