on azure i need to setup a port 7013 for forwarding

Hi Joel Lang

Run this on the Linux VM: sudo netstat -tulnp | grep 7013, then you will see some output. If you see nothing, then the FacetWin service is not listening on port 7013.

From your local Windows PC or another machine, run this: Test-NetConnection -ComputerName <public-ip> -Port 7013

Hope this helps!

Please Let me know if you have any queries.

how can i test if 7013 is open

I did all this . for the firewall

also I added the 7013 tcp to the vm with the port rules

as per enclosed

I then tried my application and it still is not getting through the port. The application is facetwin.

please advise what next I can do?

Hi Joel Lang

To set up port forwarding for port 7013 to an Azure Red Hat Virtual Machine, you will need to configure the Azure Network Security Group (NSG) associated with the VM to allow inbound traffic on that port.

Please follow the below steps:

1. Go to Azure Portal -> Virtual machines -> Select your Red Hat VM -> Go to Networking section -> Network Interface (NIC) associated with your VM. Click on the NIC -> In the NIC settings -> Network security group -> click on the NSG linked to your VM.
2. In the NSG settings -> click on Inbound security rules -> Click + Add -> Now add the following details:
   • Source: Choose Any or specify the source IP range if you want to restrict access.
   • Source port ranges: Leave this as * (all ports).
   • Destination: Choose Any or specify the IP address of your VM.
   • Destination port ranges: Enter 7013.
   • Protocol: Select TCP
   • Action: Select Allow.
   • Priority: Set a priority number.
   • Name: Provide a name for the rule.
   • Description: Optionally, add a description.
3. Click on Add to create the rule.
4. Now to Configure Firewall on the Red Hat VM -> Connect to your Red Hat VM using SSH -> Check if the firewall (e.g., firewalld or iptables) is running and configured to allow traffic on port 7013.

      # Check if firewalld is running
      sudo systemctl status firewalld
      # Allow traffic on port 7013
      sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=7013/tcp --permanent
      # Reload the firewall to apply changes
      sudo firewall-cmd --reload
   

And then try accessing your VM through port 7013 from the relevant client or application to test connectivity.

Hope this helps!
