Port 2564 HP-3000-TELNET
Port 2564 is the IANA-assigned hp-3000-telnet port for HP 3000 NS/VT block mode telnet (TCP / UDP).
What is port 2564 used for?
Port 2564 is assigned to hp-3000-telnet and uses TCP / UDP. The IANA registry describes the service as “HP 3000 NS/VT block mode telnet”. It sits in the registered range, the block used by databases, application servers and developer tooling. Port conflicts here are common when several local services start at once.
Ports are the transport-layer address a service listens on. A client that wants to reach hp-3000-telnet connects to port 2564. A TCP connection is refused when nothing is listening, while a UDP request simply goes unanswered. That is why a port conflict appears whenever two processes try to bind the same number.
Use the commands below to confirm whether port 2564 is actually in use before you change firewall rules. Blocking the port stops new inbound traffic at the firewall, but it does not stop a local process from listening, and it does not remove the service from the machine.

Check and block port 2564
Copy-ready commands for the protocols assigned to this port. Run the check first, then block only what should not be reachable.
Check on Linux
sudo ss -tlpn 'sport = :2564'
sudo ss -ulpn 'sport = :2564'Check on Windows
Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 2564 -State Listen -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 2564 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinueBlock with UFW
sudo ufw deny 2564/tcp
sudo ufw deny 2564/udpBlock with iptables
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 2564 -j DROP
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 2564 -j DROPThese commands are examples for a typical host. Check the listener before you change firewall rules, and persist iptables rules with iptables-save or netfilter-persistent. On Windows, use Windows Defender Firewall or New-NetFirewallRule for persistent blocks. The iptables rules here cover IPv4; mirror them with ip6tables if IPv6 is enabled.
Is port 2564 safe to expose?
This port is not on our curated list of services with a widely exploited profile. Exposure is only safe when the listening service is intended, patched and protected by a firewall. Keep the listening service patched and remove it if unused. A default-deny firewall policy with explicit allow rules is still the safest baseline.
Where port 2564 is usually used
Most traffic on port 2564 falls into these scenarios. The demo below is a safe way to confirm the listener before you change anything.
- Administrators connecting through a bastion host or VPN to manage a machine.
- Automation and CI jobs opening short-lived sessions to run commands.
- Port forwarding that keeps an internal service off the public network.
Test the listener
A TCP probe shows whether the remote-access service is reachable; the protocol client may still reject the session later.
nc -vz 127.0.0.1 2564Common problems with port 2564
Connection refused or timed out
Refused usually means the host is reachable but nothing is listening on port 2564. A timeout more often means a firewall drop, a wrong host or a service bound to a different interface.
Port already in use
Find the process holding the port with sudo ss -tlpn 'sport = :2564' or sudo lsof -i :2564. Stop that process or configure it to bind another port; killing it without identifying it can take down a production service.
Firewall rule did not survive a reboot
UFW and Windows Firewall keep rules across restarts. Raw iptables rules do not: save them with iptables-save or the netfilter-persistent package, and re-apply after upgrades that reset the ruleset.
The port is blocked but still reachable
A firewall rule filters inbound traffic; it does not close the listener. Confirm with the check command above and bind the service to 127.0.0.1 when only local clients need it.

Frequently asked questions
What is port 2564 used for?
Port 2564 (HP-3000-TELNET) uses TCP / UDP. HP 3000 NS/VT block mode telnet.
How do I check if port 2564 is open?
On Linux run `sudo ss -tlpn 'sport = :2564'` and `sudo ss -ulpn 'sport = :2564'`. On Windows run `Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 2564 -State Listen -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue` and `Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 2564 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue` in PowerShell. If the port is open, the output shows a process listening on port 2564; empty output usually means nothing is bound to it.
How do I block port 2564?
With UFW run `sudo ufw deny 2564/tcp` and `sudo ufw deny 2564/udp`. With iptables run `sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 2564 -j DROP` and `sudo iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 2564 -j DROP`. Persist the iptables rules with your distribution's netfilter-persistent or iptables-save tooling so they survive a reboot.
Is port 2564 safe to expose?
This port is not on our curated list of services with a widely exploited profile. Exposure is only safe when the listening service is intended, patched and protected by a firewall. Nevertheless, keep the listening service patched and remove it if unused. A default-deny firewall policy with explicit allow rules is still the safest baseline.
