3.1 Management port (TCP 16991) The management port is simple to understand, it’s a port that accepts mutually authenticated TLS connections and once authenticated using a client certificate, allows the caller to perform administrative and management tasks on this computer. The features offered by the manageability agent include remote power control, remote file management, remote desktop and remote command prompt. Any computer on the network can attempt to connect to this port. If authenticated, it can perform the commands. Oftentimes, we use this port along with mesh traffic relay over the internet, but it can also be used within the local network for quick management. Once the TLS connection is established, the management port uses binary commands to operate. Commands are always 4 byte headers optionally followed by more data.
