What Port Range Is This?
Port 10113 lives in the registered port range (1024–49151). This range is where IANA allocates port numbers to applications that formally register them. Unlike the well-known ports (0–1023), which are reserved for critical Internet services, the registered range is massive—over 48,000 ports—and most exist in near-total obscurity.
Port 10113 is one of thousands registered but rarely seen. It has an official assignment but almost no cultural presence on the Internet.
The Official Service: NetIQ Endpoint
Port 10113 is registered to NetIQ Endpoint, an enterprise management and monitoring platform developed by Micro Focus (formerly NetIQ Corporation). NetIQ Endpoint is used by some organizations to monitor and manage computers across large networks—security, inventory, compliance, that kind of infrastructure work.
The platform needs to communicate with client machines and central management servers. Port 10113 is part of that conversation, but it only appears on networks where NetIQ Endpoint is actually deployed. Most networks don't have it.
Known Unofficial Uses
Port 10113 doesn't appear to have significant unofficial secondary uses. The port registry shows the NetIQ assignment, and that's what you'll find on systems actually listening on this port. Unlike well-known ports that get commandeered for alternative purposes, port 10113 is too obscure to be worth repurposing.

Why Unassigned Ports Matter
The registered range (1024–49151) contains tens of thousands of allocated ports, most of which are invisible to most users. This creates a kind of Internet shadow structure: official, organized, empty. Port 10113 is one of thousands that sit registered but dormant.
This matters because:
- Registration prevents collision — If two vendors both tried to use the same port for different things, networks would break. The registry prevents that.
- Visibility for enterprises — Organizations that do deploy NetIQ know what port to expect and can open firewalls accordingly.
- Honest obscurity — This port is proof that not every allocated number is important. Most of them aren't. The Internet works because most of its infrastructure stays invisible.
Port 10113 will never trend. You won't see it in the logs of your web server. But somewhere, on enterprise networks you've never heard of, it's doing quiet work. That's what the registered port range is: the organized silence of specialized networks.
