tracked and inverted for 
correct selection, as 
required.  
Opposite - The signal is

Accessing TCP and UDP Services 
The following describes the commands used to access port information for all the supported 
protocols. The examples of TCP-based services are: Telnet, SSH, and HTTP. The examples of 
UDP-based services are: SNTP and SNMP. 
Proceed as follows to obtain TCP or UDP information: 
1 Start a new communication session with the receiver using a utility, such as Tera 
Term Pro or PuTTY. For more information on starting a new connection, see 
Starting a Telnet Session (on page 32). 
2 In the D9854 command prompt, type ipal tcp_list for a list of TCP connections 
or ipal udp_list for a list of UDP connections and press Enter. The following is 
an example of the results: 
 
3 All other connections that are not specifically requested by remote access 
protocol selection or triggered by user actions, such as an FTP transfer, do not 
have active listeners and the corresponding TCP/UDP ports are closed. To 
strengthen security, the hardware firewall drops all incoming packets for the 
closed ports. 
Note: The hardware firewall may impose different rules for the Management 
and Data ports. For example, remote access protocols, such as SSH or HTTP, are 
only enabled on the Management port.
