So how do I know what ports are open and I can connect to on my server computer? Well, that’s the topic of this article. So even when the service is running on a specific port on your server computer, a client computer won’t be able to connect to it. When you have firewall program configured, by default, it blocks all the port. So port 80 is an open port because a client computer can talk to it. To talk to specific service on your server computer, let’s say the HTTP server, the client computer has to pass the port 80 along with the IP address 10.0.1.11. For example, the HTTP server runs on port 80, the MySQL database server runs on port 3306 and so on. So your server computer runs different services or server softwares on different ports. Port is a 16-bit integer, which means it can be a number from 0 to 65536. Well to differentiate between the HTTP service and MySQL database service, the IP address also has another property called port. So when you connect to 10.0.1.11 from another computer, how does your server computer know what service you want to use? The HTTP service or the MySQL database service. Let’s say it has one physical network interface available and its configured to have an IP address 10.0.1.11 and you have HTTP and MySQL database server installed on it. But it may have a limited number of network interfaces on it. You can install many server software packagess on a single computer such as HTTP server, DNS server, Database Server and so on.
What is an Open Port?įirst let’s discuss what an open port is. A netrange of 0-65534 indicates that there is no AppleTalk router present, so atalkd will fetch an address that matches the following criteria: netrange from inside the so called 'startup range' 65280-65533 and a node address between 142 and 255. I am going to use CentOS 7.4 for the demonstration, but the same commands should work on any Linux distribution with Firewalld installed.

In this article, I am going to show you how to list open ports in Firewalld.
It has easy to use command line interface (CLI) and a great alternative to iptables. It is very powerful for managing IPv4 and IPv6 networks. Firewalld is the default firewall program on CentOS 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (RHEL 7), Fedora 18+ and some other popular Linux distributions.
