we have integrated our UR systems into our company network.
However, we found out that this is not a good solution.
By default, the UR systems have many ports open,
which in our opinion are not always necessary.
We have discovered the following ports:
PORT STATE SERVICE
22/tcp open ssh
502/tcp open mbap
6000/tcp open X11
29999/tcp open bingbang
30001/tcp open pago-services1
30002/tcp open pago-services2
30003/tcp open amicon-fpsu-ra
30004/tcp open amicon-fpsu-s
If you’re using an (updated) e-series robot, you might be able to enter settings (Security → Services) and disable the services associated with the ports (RTDE etc).
I don’t have a robot with me, so I don’t know if they’re all available for disabling in the settings.
Alternatively, you should be able to establish an SSH connection to the robot or using the internal Linux terminal by connecting a USB keyboard to the robot (I don’t remember the hotkey).
You will have to kill the service associated to the port (and stop it from starting again when booting), since it’s the application/service that has opened the port. You can also block the port in the firewall, but it will still show as “open”, I think.
There’s a command to list all applications using network ressources (or something). I just don’t remember it. If you have a Linux expert, you should consult him.
