On most computers, telnet is not installed by default. A domain is often easier for humans to remember instead of numbers to multiple different servers locally or externally.īelow are the commands to ping IP and port on a server using Telnet: $ telnet Īs I mentioned above, you can use Telnet on both Windows and Linux computers/servers which makes it a great choice for most sys-ops. If you want to, you can also use a domain instead of the IP. You can with a simple command using Telnet ping IP and port on the remote server you would like to check. I also think that it’s the easiest one to use and it’s called Telnet. This is my favorite when working on both Windows and Linux.
In this article/reference post, I will show you how to ping IP and port on your Windows or Linux machine using different commands in the terminal (CLI). One of the Kubernetes clusters I manage is running more than 100 services and here I use it a lot. However if you like me often got many services running on one server (often when using Docker), I need to ping the specific port number on the server. Often it’s enough to just ping an IP to validate that you got “life” on the server. Due to that, I have written this article as a reference for myself but also for everyone else, who is in need of pinging services they expect at a location. I think most system administrators know the commands for this, but if you like me normally don’t work like an IT admin (at least not anymore) I tend to forget the commands. In this tutorial, I will show you how to ping IP and port on Linux and Windows. One of the things I do the most when troubleshooting deployments of services exposing data to the internet is pinging the IP and port where the service is supposed to be alive.
