Displaying Connections

Displaying Connections

netstat supports a set of options to display active or passive sockets. The options -t, -u, -w, and -x show active TCP, UDP, RAW, or Unix socket connections. If you provide the -a flag in addition, sockets that are waiting for a connection (i.e., listening) are displayed as well. This display will give you a list of all servers that are currently running on your system.

Invoking netstat -ta on vlager produces this output:

$ netstat -ta
Active Internet Connections Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (State)
tcp 0 0 *:domain *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:time *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 vlager:smtp vstout:1040 ESTABLISHED
tcp 0 0 *:telnet *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 localhost:1046 vbardolino:telnet ESTABLISHED
tcp 0 0 *:chargen *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:daytime *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:discard *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:echo *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:shell *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:login *:* LISTEN

This output shows most servers simply waiting for an incoming connection. However, the fourth line shows an incoming SMTP connection from vstout, and the sixth line tells you there is an outgoing telnet connection to vbardolino.[39]

Using the -a flag by itself will display all sockets from all families.
