The term Show Allports (or eam showallport) primarily refers to administrative console commands used in enterprise software and storage architecture to audit, display, and troubleshoot network or system interfaces.
Depending on the specific enterprise environment you are managing, the command operates differently: 1. HCL / IBM Domino Server Environment
In a Domino Server administrative console, the Show Allports command is used by system administrators to map out all active and inactive communication paths.
Function: Displays the hardware and protocol configuration for every enabled and disabled port on the server. Syntax: Show Allports
Target Output: It provides a quick breakdown of your listening drivers (such as TCP or NetBIOS), their port numbers, and their current operational status.
Enabled Ports: TCPIP=TCP, 0, 15, 0 Disabled Ports: LAN1=NETBIOS, 1, 15, 0 Use code with caution. 2. Huawei OceanStor Storage Systems
In enterprise storage area networks (SAN/NAS), the Huawei OceanStor CLI utilizes the eam showallport command within its diagnostic views.
Function: Queries internal information regarding all physical and logical ports of the Enclosure Application Module (EAM). Syntax: eam showallport [-devm|app_data]
Target Output: Identifies physical link status, link speed, logical bond configurations, and whether a port has been shut down. Standard Admin Alternatives for Port Auditing
If you are operating in a general OS infrastructure environment (like Windows or Linux) rather than a specific middleware console, standard system administrators use alternative native tools to list all ports: Linux Systems
ss -tulpn: The modern standard to quickly list all active listening TCP/UDP sockets along with their process IDs.
netstat -tuln: Traditional utility to check listening sockets.
lsof -i: Lists open files and the network ports tied directly to active processes. Windows Systems
netstat -abno: Displays all active TCP/UDP connections, listening ports, process identifier (PID), and the literal executable file name handling the traffic.
Get-NetTCPConnection -State Listen: The native PowerShell equivalent to filter down exactly what network slots are open.
