  • Close the port if nothing on the host needs it.
  • Identify the process that listens on it (commands below) before opening it in a firewall.
  • Expose a service only to the networks that use it.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 31948, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :31948'      # process listening on 31948
sudo lsof -nP -i :31948

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :31948

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 31948 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 31948
netstat -ano | findstr :31948

From another machine

nmap -p 31948 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 31948 <host>
nc -zv <host> 31948

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 31948/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)

04 FAQ
What is port 31948 used for?

Port 31948 is assigned by IANA to iceedcp_tx (Embedded Device Configuration Protocol TX), iceedcp-tx (Embedded Device Configuration Protocol TX IANA assigned this well-formed service name as a replacement for "iceedcp_tx".).

Is port 31948 TCP or UDP?

Port 31948 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 31948?

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. Close the port if nothing on the host needs it.

How do I check if port 31948 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :31948'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :31948", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :31948" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 31948 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
