I belive it has to do with the Compaq Insight Manager and the
ability for compaq machines to broadcast status. One can monitor
the hardware state of Compaq machines. If you're not an
enterprise organization or have no need to globally monitor the
status of those machines, you can turn this off, or gracefully drop
port 2301 within the fw. -BK
