[SOLVED] Iperf not responding as server

Post by informel » 2018/05/29 01:31:49

I have a fresh new install of CentOs (as a VM on my ESXI 6.7 server) and I am using it as a Plex server and it is running fine.

I want to test the network speed with iperf3.

Iperf is install, if I use it as a client; I can setup a Windows machine as a server and it is working.
If I start iperf on CentOs as a server, it is telling me that it is listening on port 5201., but the clients are timing out.

port is open in the Firewall
[plex@localhost ~]$ firewall-cmd --list-ports
5201/tcp

suggestion??

Check Your iperf server up and running.

Did You reload firewalld ?

# firewall-cmd --reload

Use 'nmap' and scan Your server and check open ports

Try to run server ipv4 only

# iperf3 -s -4

Nmap use from client to scan server,

Did You try run server only Ipv4 ?

# iperf3 -s -4
