# WHATPORT(2909)

## NAME

port 2909 — funk-dialout (registered) — An IANA registration from Funk Software, with no public protocol behind the name.

Protocol: TCP/UDP  
IANA: funk-dialout

## DESCRIPTION

2909 is registered as funk-dialout, "Funk Dialout", by Funk Software — the remote-access and RADIUS vendor behind Steel-Belted RADIUS, acquired by Juniper Networks in 2005. No public specification describes the protocol, and it does not appear in modern scan data in any meaningful volume. It is a legacy registration from the dial-up era rather than something you should expect to meet.

## EXPOSURE

**Expose with care.** Nothing current is expected on 2909, so a listener means unidentified software — fingerprint it locally rather than assuming the registration explains it.

## CHECK

```sh
sudo lsof -nP -iTCP:2909 -sTCP:LISTEN
```
