Show localports opening in Advfirewall using netsh




Old command to show ports opening in netsh is:
netsh firewall show portopening

For Windows OSes which uses Advance Firewall the above command may not work anymore.

PowerShell of course can get the list of ports used by Windows advance firewall with security.

The link below shows on how to use PowerShell to query advance firewall:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/jamesone/archive/2009/02/18/how-to-manage-the-windows-firewall-settings-with-powershell.aspx

If a program or application utilizes a specific port and is not open or not being set on the firewall then the particular program or application may not be accessible remotely.

If command line is preferable, netsh is able to get or list the ports used by the firewall.

netsh advfirewall firewall show rule name=all  verbose | findstr "LocalPort:"

Sample output for the command above:

LocalPort:                            3540
LocalPort:                            Any
LocalPort:                            1900
LocalPort:                            Any
