SiS Support Tip - How to check if default port for report 8888 is open (2024)

On Unix platforms:

Use netstat command to see if the box has a listener on port 8888.Below is an example of an output of command netstat –tuplen:

(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)

Active Internet connections (only servers)

udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:123 0.0.0.0:* 0 6954 -

You may also want to also check if the port is allowed in iptables. How?

Execute iptables –L command as root user. To check an specific port, run iptables -nL | grep <port number> command.

If you are not getting anything after excecutingcommand iptables -nL | grep <port number> the iptables in your system doesn't have any rules configured.

Hope this comes handy.
