2301

HP/HPE System Management Homepage (HTTP)

The plain-HTTP front door of HP's server management web UI, which bounces you to HTTPS on 2381.

TCP IANA: cpq-wbem

Description

IANA registers 2301 as cpq-wbem, "Compaq HTTP" — the name survives from Compaq's Insight Manager agents, which became HP and then HPE System Management Homepage (SMH). SMH is the local web console on ProLiant servers showing hardware health, firmware, storage, and agent status. Port 2301 exists for backwards compatibility: a browser hitting it is redirected to the real UI on HTTPS 2381. Finding it open identifies the box as a ProLiant (or an HP-UX system) running the SMH agents.

Exposed to the internet?

Do not expose

A cleartext HTTP entry point to a server hardware admin console. Even though it redirects, the management plane of a physical server has no business on a public network — keep SMH on the management LAN.
