install net-tool to run the netstat

~]# yum install net-tools

check listening ports

~]# netstat -nlptu
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       PID/Program name

check firewall state:

~]# firewall-cmd --state
not running

if it’s running then stop and disable the firewall
! this option makes sense due to using the target host behind the other firewall or gateway, otherwise to tune the firewall in the proper way

~]# systemctl stop firewalld
~]# systemctl disable firewalld

if it’s not running then check access to port 10050 from another host:

~ # telnet 10.10.10.102 10050
Trying 10.10.10.102...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host

if it’s blocked then check iptables on the target host:

~]# iptables -S
...
-P INPUT ACCEPT
-P FORWARD ACCEPT
-P OUTPUT ACCEPT
...

add the open 10050 port rule to the iptables by command

 ~]# iptables -I INPUT 5 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 10050 -j ACCEPT

check the rule again

~]# iptables -S | grep 10050
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 10050 -j ACCEPT

and check the access from another host by telnet

~ # telnet 10.10.10.102 10050
Trying 10.10.10.102...
Connected to 10.10.10.102.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

return to the target host and save current iptables settings to backup iptables file and to the actual iptables config file (/etc/sysconfig/iptables)

# save actual working settings to backup file
~]# iptables-save > iptables_rules_20220724

# replace the actual iptables config file with actual working settings
~]# cp iptables_rules_20220724 /etc/sysconfig/iptables

# check expected record
~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/iptables | grep 10050
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 10050 -j ACCEPT

# or the rule could be added inside the /etc/sysconfig/iptables
# -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 10050 -j ACCEPT
