Port 2049 · NFS

Port 2049 is NFS, TCP and UDP.

Network File System — Unix/Linux network file sharing. NFSv4 needs only this port; NFSv3 also needs rpcbind (111) and mountd.

Palo Alto

Create the service objects for this port, then allow the App-ID on it. Restricting the rule to the port's service object keeps the rule working on a non-default port and stops the App-ID matching on other ports. Replace the placeholders with your own rule name and zones.

set service tcp-2049 protocol tcp port 2049
set service udp-2049 protocol udp port 2049

Risk and exposure

Rated medium risk. Restrict this port to the sources that need it and keep the service patched; avoid exposing it to the whole internet unless the service is meant to be public.
