Service Virtualization

Hello All,

can some one tell me how we can check what ports are eligible or identified for a VSE instance? Also what statuses let us know weather port is use, disable etc..

Thanks..

Don't think there's a range or limit to vse ports. As long as a port is not taken, you should be able to use it. This is more related to the OS than DevTest...

ok thanks...

Shivam,  VSE by default runs on network port 2013 which is configurable.  As far as Virtual services goes you can decide what port range to use on a VSE Server.  If the service is running then that specific port is in use. Once you stop a service then the port is released by the service and is available.

To add to the previous answers, one can use any port as long as it is not already in use (although, for various reasons, ports below 1024 should be used only with caution).

The ports in use depend very much upon what is running on the machine - to find out what ports are in use, try running one of the following at a command prompt:

      netstat -tan               on Linux

or

      netstat -qnp tcp       on Windows 

The column headed Local Address  contains the information that you need - port numbers are after the colon

Thanks Dave.

 I will try this.
