Why is my netstat not showing my port?
If netstat does not show your port it is because the application which should listen to this port is not working properly. You can check whether the port is open using TCP listen or similar utility – just configure it to listen 13724 port and see netstat. Assuming netstat will show 13724 port – you should troubleshoout Netbackup service.
Is the port status ” listening ” indicated that the port is open?
Is the port status “LISTENING” indicated that the port is opened? Yes. It means that some service is listening to that port on your computer for incoming connection i.e. this port is open for establishing new connections. Any port that are not shown in the output indicated that it’s closed? Yes.
How to know which ports are in use?
-t or –tcp shows the tcp sockets. -u or –udp shows the udp sockets. -n or –numeric shows the hosts and ports as numbers, instead of resolving in dns and looking in /etc/services. You use a mix of these to get what you want. To know which port numbers are currently in use, use one of these:
Is there a better way to check ports open?

How to show listening ports and PID in netstat?
The -a tells it to show us all active connections and the ports on which the computer is listening. The -n tells netstat to show the IP addresses and ports as numbers only. We’re telling it to not try to resolve the names. This makes for a quicker and neater display. The -o tells netstat to include the PID.
What do I need to know about netstat in Windows?
It’s also used in other operating systems (OS) like Unix and Linux, but we’ll stick to Windows here. Netstat can provide us with: The name of the protocol the port is using (TCP or UDP).

Why is my Docker container not showing up in netstat?
Everything is running on my local notebook, so I guess there can’t be any confusion with the host. ANSWER: This is related to docker EXPOSE parameter. If you write this line in your dockerfile and run the container with -p, the port will be visible in netstat. If you use -p but don’t write EXPOSE, your port won’t be listed by netstat.
