NetWorker portmapper (lgtomapper)

NetWorker's own portmapper, sitting next to nsrexecd on a backup client.

TCP IANA registry

Description

7938 carries what Nmap calls lgtomapper, the Legato/NetWorker portmapper that tells callers which dynamic port each NetWorker service is on — the same job Sun RPC's portmapper does on 111. It is unassigned at IANA and appears almost exclusively alongside 7937 on hosts running the NetWorker client. A scan showing 7937 and 7938 together is a reliable NetWorker fingerprint.

Do not expose

A portmapper enumerates the rest of the backup stack for whoever asks. Keep it inside the backup segment with the client daemon it serves.
