# WHATPORT(2260)

## NAME

port 2260 — APC PowerChute console (legacy) — The third of APC's undescribed registrations, with no published protocol behind it.

Protocol: TCP  
IANA: apc-2260

## DESCRIPTION

IANA registers 2260 to American Power Conversion (now Schneider Electric) as "APC 2260", with no protocol description, exactly like 2160 and 2161. No public document describes the protocol or which PowerChute component used it. Schneider's current PowerChute port documentation lists only TCP 6547 for the agent web UI and UDP 161 for SNMP, so a listener here points at legacy APC software rather than anything shipping today.

## EXPOSURE

**Do not expose.** An unidentified listener on a port registered to UPS management software; keep it to a management segment and identify the process before allowing any inbound access.

## CHECK

```sh
nc -vz TARGET 2260
```
