Hi,
I am trying to understand the esxcfg-firewall cmd and the namp output.
esxcfg-firewall -q cmd output is
Opened ports:
sshClient : port 22 tcp.in
snmp : port 161 tcp.in tcp.out udp.in udp.out
ftpClient : port 21 tcp.in
snmptrap : port 162 udp.in udp.out
dynamicupdates : port 8081 tcp.out
OpenManageRequest : port 1311 tcp.in
When, I use nmap to scan the same server
Not shown: 987 closed ports
PORT STATE SERVICE
22/tcp open ssh
80/tcp open http
199/tcp open smux
443/tcp open https
902/tcp open iss-realsecure
903/tcp open iss-console-mgr
1311/tcp open rxmon
5988/tcp open unknown
5989/tcp open unknown
8009/tcp open ajp13
8042/tcp open unknown
8045/tcp open unknown
8080/tcp open http-proxy
Why is the esxcfg-firewall now showing the ports, that is shwon by nmap ?
Thanks
nmap shows only ports which are open. Closed/Outgoing Ports are not shown.
There are so many other ports which are open but they are not shown by the firewall that is very strange. Is this a bug ?
Thanks
