HP-UX, Ver11.23 and 11.31 Turn ports on

Can I use the /etc/services and /etc/protocols to setup to turn a specific port on or off? Thanks:confused:

???
What do you mean by setting on/off?
These files should be seen as configuration files and more as documentary files:
When you put up anything that require specific ports, you look at the services file to see if it is used or not. If you implement after, you add the ports you use in the file...
