# WHATPORT(8654)

## NAME

port 8654 — Unassigned — No IANA entry; sits in the range Ganglia deployments borrow, but is not a documented default.

Protocol: TCP  
IANA registry

## DESCRIPTION

8654 has no IANA assignment. It falls inside the loose 8649-8655 band that Ganglia installations use for extra gmond channels and additional data sources — the shipped gmetad.conf example even points at ports like 8655 — but no Ganglia default lands on 8654 itself. Nmap tracks it as "unknown" at about 0.03% open. In other words: plausible neighbourhood, no documented occupant.

## EXPOSURE

**Expose with care.** Unidentified until you name the process. If it is a Ganglia channel, treat it like 8649 and keep it off public interfaces.

## CHECK

```sh
sudo lsof -nP -iTCP:8654 -sTCP:LISTEN
```
