SQL Server listening on.. ???

  • I have a SS2005 with three instances... what is the difference in ports from the first one listed as 4323 as opposed to 4324... ???  I guess I don't understand. What is the server side command to see what is listening on what ports ?

     

    Server is listening on [ 'any' <ipv4> 4323].

    2007-01-22 09:33:57.64 Server      Server local connection provider is ready to accept connection on [ \\.\pipe\SQLLocal\INST3 ].

    2007-01-22 09:33:57.64 Server      Server named pipe provider is ready to accept connection on [ \\.\pipe\MSSQL$INST3\sql\query ].

    2007-01-22 09:33:57.64 Server      Server is listening on [ 127.0.0.1 <ipv4> 4324].

    2007-01-22 09:33:57.64 Server      Dedicated admin connection support was established for listening locally on port 4324.

  • First port is used for regular connections where as second one is used exclusively by DAC. I don't know the command in 2005 where as in 2000 you have to read from registry...

    DAC is special diagnostic connection for administrators when standard connections to the server are not possible. This diagnostic connection allows an administrator to access SQL Server to execute diagnostic queries and troubleshoot problems even when SQL Server is not responding to standard connection requests. So that sql is assigning different port for DAC.
