Port 11110: Data migration facility (DMF) SOAP is a web server protocol to support remote access to DMF

Port 11110 is assigned by IANA to sgi-soap (Data migration facility (DMF) SOAP is a web server protocol to support remote access to DMF).

The client opens a session to port 11110: each command typed is sent to the server, which runs it and returns the output.

01 Security

Is port 11110 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 11110. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for remote access services:

  • Do not expose remote administration directly: use a VPN or a zero-trust access proxy.
  • Require MFA or key-based authentication and lock out brute-force attempts.
  • Log every login and alert on new source addresses.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 11110, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :11110'      # process listening on 11110
sudo lsof -nP -i :11110

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :11110

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 11110 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 11110
netstat -ano | findstr :11110

From another machine

nmap -p 11110 -sV <host>
nc -zv <host> 11110

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 11110/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 11110" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 11110 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 11110 used for?

Port 11110 is assigned by IANA to sgi-soap (Data migration facility (DMF) SOAP is a web server protocol to support remote access to DMF).

Is port 11110 TCP or UDP?

Port 11110 is registered for TCP.

Is it safe to open port 11110?

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. Do not expose remote administration directly: use a VPN or a zero-trust access proxy.

How do I check if port 11110 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :11110'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :11110", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :11110" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 11110 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
