Technical Details

what runs on :7005

The Volume Server uses the AFS Rx remote-procedure-call protocol and is assigned to both TCP and UDP on port 7005. It provides volume-management operations such as creation, cloning, relocation, salvage-related administration, dump, and restore; authentication and authorization normally use AFS security mechanisms such as rxkad, with the server's fixed port discovered from the AFS service-port conventions rather than a general-purpose application handshake.

security overview

This is an administrative interface to AFS storage and should normally be reachable only from trusted AFS clients or management networks, not from the public Internet. Authentication is expected for administrative operations, but deployments may provide authentication without confidentiality unless an encryption-capable Rx security class is selected; restrict access with firewalls and monitor for unexpected volume-management requests.
