Internal Communication Port - Portal

[Former Member]

Hello,

One of my third party software installations require me to make sure that the port used by the software (for internal logging) is opened. Below are the exact words.

-

---

Ports used for communicating must be open. This refers to port xxxx (eg.3001). Local to J2EE machine. It should be already opened.

Where / how do I verify if this port is already opened and if not, how do I open this port?

Thank you.

Do a netstat -a and check which ports are listening.

Hi,

Port can be opened by entering the details in the services file and you can test the port using the command..

telnet <IP or hostname> <port to be test>

If you get the response from the port, means the port is open.
