Cannot telnet to port 1002

[Ratzie]

Good day, we are trying to install HPSA (server Automation) on an HPUX 11.31 server.

Originally the sysadmin enable ipfilters, we have since disabled it 

/opt/ipf/bin/ipfilter -d

But, we still cannot test any connectivity to server that requires port 1002 open.

root@server/> telnet 10.45.77.76 1002
Trying 10.45.77.76...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

We dont want to enable telnet but we do require access to this port.

Any ideas?

Connection refused means nobody is listening at that port.  So telnet isn't the right tool to use, yet.

Why not install HPSA and check if it works?

What does this show?: netstat -a | fgrep .1002
