[asterisk-users] SIP port 5060 closed - how do I open it?

[Zaheer K. Master]

Hi Adrian here is what I got when I ran the command you suggested:
netstat -an|grep 5060
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:5060            0.0.0.0:*

I also ran netstat -l and got the following:

So does this mean that port 5060 is not listening for traffic?

Thanks again,
