icmp is open and what the port 140.235.124.115
It seems like you're trying to gather information about the status of ICMP and possibly check the status of a specific IP address (140.235.124.115). Here's a quick breakdown of your inquiry:
1. **ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol):**
- ICMP is used for sending error messages and operational information. It is commonly used for network diagnostics (e.g., the `ping` command uses ICMP to test the reachability of a host).
2. **Port Checking:**
- If you're checking an IP address for open ports, you might be referring to TCP/UDP ports. ICMP operates independently of the ports, as it’s a network layer protocol (not a transport layer protocol like TCP or UDP).
To check if ICMP is open (i.e., whether a host responds to ping requests):
- You can use the `ping` command in your command-line interface:
```
ping 140.235.124.115
```
If you receive replies, then ICMP is open for that address.
To check what ports are open on that IP address, you can use tools like `nmap`:
- Using `nmap`:
```
nmap 140.235.124.115
```
This will scan the specified IP for open ports and provide a report.
Please ensure you have permission to scan the IP address, as unauthorized scanning can be against the terms of service of internet service providers and might be illegal.
