Displaying the ports that are open on PIX506E

I am very new to the PIX and i was wondering if there is a way to display the ports that are open on my firewall through the PDM. I can also use the CLI if that is easier. Thanks.

I'm assuming that i don't have any ports open right now because i don't have any access-lists. And since i don't have any access-lists, the fixup ports are just there waiting to be used. Am i correct?

Les Moore

Exactly. You have no open ports for un-invited traffic, the fixups don't necessarily just sit there, they are part of the Adaptive Security Algorithm to support the returns of outbound requests. For example, the fixup ftp is required because your outgoing ftp request is initiated on one port, and the data is sent on another port.
