Testing Domino 1352 port?
Duncan Hardie
It seems that a server (R5.06) I'm dealing with for some reason stops
responding to users. However the server seems to be running quite
happily on the server (NT 4 SP6a).
I figure that this could be due to NT or Domino dropping the IP port.
Does anyone know how to check the ports status? When I telnet to the
port when the server is running I connect however I do not get a
meaningful response (unlike SMTP), does anyone know the syntax for
telnet to make the port respond?
Cheers

socket is alive.
Syntax is: telnet <servername> 1352

Try doing a search in the Lotus knowledge base
(http://www.support.lotus.com) for "nping" or "notesping" this utility
will allow you to connect to all of the Domino ports (or not as the
case may be !)...
The other alternative is to try a trace via the tools-user
preferences-ports-Trace...

composed the following note that you guys may be interested in. Some
of this is cribbed from other postings, so thanks to others who will
recognise various extracts;)
The NPing details are also very helpful.
Cheers.
On further investigation on how Domino/Notes deals with TCPIP I have
found that there is no default port for any Domino server task (such
as router, replicator). HTTP, POP3, SMTP follow the industry
standards, but, since replication is Notes specific, and is internal
to Notes, it will use whatever port it feels like after a server
connection is made on port 1352.
As such Notes only listens on port 1352 then, once the server has
established a connection, it will transfer this connection from ports
1024 and up, excluding 1352, which is reserved for listening for
connections.
In order to determine which ports are being used by the Domino at any
time, the Domino console command "SHOW PORT TCPIP" is used.
Workstations with a Domino TCPIP session open are listed in the
"Foreign Addresses" column in the Domino consoles SHOW PORT results,
both the workstations IP address and port number that hold the session
connection are shown.
It is possible from a Notes workstation to find whether a TCPIP
connection is established with the Domino server, this can be used to
establish the integrity of both workstation and Domino server
connections. From Windows Command Prompt type "NETSTAT", the results
of which show the local workstation IP port details in the "Local
Address" column and the Domino server details in the form of it's
Nodes address in the "Foreign Address" column.
Using the results from the above tests it is possible check that IP
connections exist between both server and client at an IP port level.
Any indication to the contrary may indicate an issue, issues may
include Domino unbinding with ports and port sessions not being
dropped correctly.
