As a Linux administrator, you should know whether the corresponding service is binding/listening with correct port or not.
This will help you to easily troubleshoot further when you are facing port related issues.
A port is a logical connection that identifies a specific process on Linux. There are two kind of port are available like, physical and software.
Since Linux operating system is a software hence, we are going to discuss about software port.
Software port is always associated with an IP address of a host and the relevant protocol type for communication. The port is used to distinguish the application.
Most of the network related services have to open up a socket to listen incoming network requests. Socket is unique for every service.
Socket is combination of IP address, software Port and protocol. The port numbers area available for both TCP and UDP protocol.
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) use port numbers for communication. It is a value from 0 to 65535.
Below are port assignments categories.
It can display stats for all kind of sockets such as PACKET, TCP, UDP, DCCP, RAW, Unix domain, etc.
By default, netstat displays a list of open sockets. If you don’t specify any address families, then the active sockets of all configured address families will be printed. This program is obsolete. Replacement for netstat is ss.
Nmap uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hosts are available on the network, what services (application name and version) those hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OS versions) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other characteristics.

ss:ss is used to dump socket statistics.netstat:netstat is displays a list of open sockets.lsof:lsof – list open files.fuser:fuser – list process IDs of all processes that have one or more files opennmap:nmap – Network exploration tool and security / port scannersystemctl:systemctl – Control the systemd system and service manager
Method-1: Using ss Command
ss is used to dump socket statistics. It allows showing information similar to netstat. It can display more TCP and state informations than other tools.It can display stats for all kind of sockets such as PACKET, TCP, UDP, DCCP, RAW, Unix domain, etc.
# ss -tnlp | grep ssh LISTEN 0 128 *:22 *:* users:(("sshd",pid=997,fd=3)) LISTEN 0 128 :::22 :::* users:(("sshd",pid=997,fd=4))Alternatively you can check this with port number as well.
# ss -tnlp | grep ":22" LISTEN 0 128 *:22 *:* users:(("sshd",pid=997,fd=3)) LISTEN 0 128 :::22 :::* users:(("sshd",pid=997,fd=4))
Method-2: Using netstat Command
netstat – Print network connections, routing tables, interface statistics, masquerade connections, and multicast memberships.By default, netstat displays a list of open sockets. If you don’t specify any address families, then the active sockets of all configured address families will be printed. This program is obsolete. Replacement for netstat is ss.
# netstat -tnlp | grep ssh tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 997/sshd tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 997/sshdAlternatively you can check this with port number as well.
# netstat -tnlp | grep ":22" tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1208/sshd tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 1208/sshd
Method-3: Using lsof Command
lsof – list open files. The Linux lsof command lists information about files that are open by processes running on the system.# lsof -i -P | grep ssh COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME sshd 11584 root 3u IPv4 27625 0t0 TCP *:22 (LISTEN) sshd 11584 root 4u IPv6 27627 0t0 TCP *:22 (LISTEN) sshd 11592 root 3u IPv4 27744 0t0 TCP vps.2daygeek.com:ssh->103.5.134.167:49902 (ESTABLISHED)Alternatively you can check this with port number as well.
# lsof -i tcp:22 COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME sshd 1208 root 3u IPv4 20919 0t0 TCP *:ssh (LISTEN) sshd 1208 root 4u IPv6 20921 0t0 TCP *:ssh (LISTEN) sshd 11592 root 3u IPv4 27744 0t0 TCP vps.2daygeek.com:ssh->103.5.134.167:49902 (ESTABLISHED)
Method-4: Using fuser Command
The fuser utility shall write to standard output the process IDs of processes running on the local system that have one or more named files open.# fuser -v 22/tcp USER PID ACCESS COMMAND 22/tcp: root 1208 F.... sshd root 12388 F.... sshd root 49339 F.... sshd
Method-5: Using nmap Command
Nmap (“Network Mapper”) is an open source tool for network exploration and security auditing. It was designed to rapidly scan large networks, although it works fine against single hosts.Nmap uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hosts are available on the network, what services (application name and version) those hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OS versions) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other characteristics.
# nmap -sV -p 22 localhost Starting Nmap 6.40 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2018-09-23 12:36 IST Nmap scan report for localhost (127.0.0.1) Host is up (0.000089s latency). Other addresses for localhost (not scanned): 127.0.0.1 PORT STATE SERVICE VERSION 22/tcp open ssh OpenSSH 7.4 (protocol 2.0) Service detection performed. Please report any incorrect results at http://nmap.org/submit/ . Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.44 seconds
Method-6: Using systemctl Command
systemctl – Control the systemd system and service manager. This is the replacement of old SysV init system management and most of the modern Linux operating systems were adapted systemd.
