no connection or timeout on a ssh connection on a vpar

[pedliz11]

i seem to be getting a timeout or no connection when i connect to a vpar on a specfiic port
ie.... 5001,5002 ..6000.. Does anyone have an idea what i should look at in this situaton

[skt_skt · Accepted solution]

what is this port used for? is it defined (like /etc/services)?Are they listening(netstat -an|grep port)? is that port open?(it is easy to scan from form a linux server if nmap is avaialable;## /usr/bin/nmap -v -p portno IPADDRESS)

e:g:-
for open ports

Port State Service
9100/tcp open jetdirect

For closed ports

Port State Service
9100/tcp filtered jetdirect

Another way to check:

netstat -an |grep LISTEN

netstat -an |grep 5001
