Has anyone seen TCP destination port 3171 used by any specific malware? After isolating a server we suspect of infection to its own segment, we see pretty clearly on the firewall console that it attempts TCP port 3171 as destination on another internal server. The server it is targeting is one that it should not be interacting with at all.

There is an interesting article that talks about Port 3171 being involved in FTP transmissions:

IANA shows:
IANA ports lists information:
Port Number: 3171 Protocol: tcp Name: serverview-gf Description: SERVERVIEW-GF
IANA ports lists information:
Port Number: 3171 Protocol: udp Name: serverview-gf Description: SERVERVIEW-GF
I don't find any information regarding specific malware targeting this port, but that doesn't mean some malware wouldn't use it.
Why not slap Wireshark on one of the systems and have a look at the traffic? Or setup a span port on the switch one of them is plugged into and have a look at the traffic.
Hmmm looks like ServerView is a Fujitsu package:
