How to view and edit the ephemeral port range on Linux?


Following command will list the ephemeral port range in Linux system

sysctl -A | grep ip_local_port_range 

If we don't want to reboot, after editing /etc/sysctl.conf file if we execute following command it will be effective.

sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf .

The truth of the matter of effective range is output of

sysctl net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range 

as mentioned by eckes in comment.
