Thread: How you make a port listen to data ip in linux

Dear All,

Please tell me how we need to make port listen to data ip.

ex: 192.168.19.11 is my data ip through which my data transfers , and I am also having Management ip through which I can login.

Now i need to make port 161 to listen to data ip that is 192.168.19.11

Thanks in Advance.

You need to start service so that it will listen on a particular port. For example, to listen on port 80 under RHEL, you type

Code:

service httpd start

To view port status

Code:

netstat -tulpn
netstat -tulpn | grep 161
