# WHATPORT(6502)

## NAME

port 6502 — BoKS Servm — BoKS's servm daemon, two above the 6500 base port.

Protocol: TCP  
IANA registry

## DESCRIPTION

IANA registers 6502 as boks-servm (with the older boks_servm name kept as an alias), part of the same Fox Technologies/Fortra BoKS block that starts at 6500. It carries the servm daemon's traffic within a BoKS domain, so it appears only alongside 6500 and its siblings on managed Unix hosts. As with the rest of the block the base port is configurable, so a BoKS deployment can sit somewhere else entirely and something unrelated can occupy 6502 instead — check the process, not just the number.

## EXPOSURE

**Do not expose.** Part of an authentication and privileged-access control plane; expose it only between BoKS masters, replicas, and agents on a management network.

## CHECK

```sh
sudo lsof -nP -iTCP:6502 -sTCP:LISTEN
```
