I've tried to reset to default the config, shutdown all
interface, remove all L3 ip/feature (no ip blabla), and I still see by
default 2 TCP ports on listening state:
Cat4500-SUP7L-E#sh ip prot
*** IP Routing is NSF aware ***
Cat4500-SUP7L-E#
Cat4500-SUP7L-E#sh run | in ip

Cat4500-SUP7L-E#show tcp br all
TCB Local Address Foreign Address (state)
5B40BB30 0.0.0.0.4786 *.* LISTEN
5CD5D2D8 0.0.0.0.6154 *.* LISTEN
Cat4500-SUP7L-E#
I will now try to negate all potential active service from the 'show run
all' config but it's not optimal as for example 'vstack' (port 4786)
does not appear in the default config so it would not be disable by this
trivial method.
One things which is not clear, could it be possible that this kind of tcp port is not registered by
Iana from Cisco because it meant to be used for internal communication only
(internal to the device), or should you register any port usage (even
'private') ?
TCP 6154 not officially registered:

in contrary to the SMI (zero touch feature on tcp 4786) which is
registered since almost 10y:
