Port issue

[Rahul Pednekar]

Dear all

I'm not able to telnet to port no. 8005 of my server. if i try from server 'A'
#telnet 192.16.7.108 8005

I get a message that its connected but when I issue the same command for the server 'B' i.e.
# telnet 192.16.6.116 8005

I get a message 'could not connect the host'
for your information both are application servers and recently i have changed the IP address of server 'B' using 'setparms' I have also checked the '/etc/services' and i found it that nothing is commented in it.

please assist guyz!

Try just doing a "regular telnet" to that same IP from server B. Does that get you a login prompt?

[John Dvorchak]

I will assume that you used to telnet to port 8005 before the IP change on "B". Can you ping the new IP address? Please send us the output from the "B" system:

netstat -rn
ifconfig lan0

lan0 assumes that is the active LAN, the netstat -rn will also list the interface number.

Hello,

Could you able to ping to Server 'B' ? Also, doing a traceroute may help.

Try also from the server B to itself

serverB# telnet 192.16.6.116 8005

to check if you have a daemon listening there.

Hi All
Thanks for the replies. to understand, bith the servers are in diffrent sublan also i can ping and telnet to each other too. I have changed the ip address of server 'B' and i did not reboot the server. also the server has port aggregation set. one more thing while loading the application the app asks the port 8005/9005 to be opened. once again I'm able to telnet server port 'A' to itself but not 'B' the command i use is
# telnet 192.16.7.116 8005

please assist.

Thanks...
Rahul

Hi Rahul,

First of all, after changing your IP address manually, could you able to ping from any other machines ? Did you add the static route ? Is routing table updated ? Check these stuffs first before proceeding to telnet.

P.S: Remember to assign points.

Can you check this?

Machine A:

grep 8005 /etc/services
telnet localhost 8005
telnet machineB 8005

Machine B:

grep 8005 /etc/services
telnet localhost 8005
telnet machineA 8005

what you are getting for this?
