50000

IBM Db2 (by convention)

Db2's conventional instance port — widely used, but by convention only, since IANA cannot assign in this range.

TCP IANA registry

Description

50000 is in the Dynamic/Private range and has no IANA assignment; IANA's registered ibm-db2 name belongs to port 523, not here. In practice 50000 is the default TCP service port configured for a Db2 LUW instance, which is why Db2 containers and installers publish it and why Nmap's service list labels it ibm-db2. It is also a common human-chosen port for application servers and proxies simply because it is a round number at the start of the range, so an open 50000 needs fingerprinting rather than assumption.

Do not expose

If it is Db2, it is a database listener with the whole dataset behind it — bind it to a private network and reach it over a VPN or tunnel.
