How do I test UDP connection?
Telnet and nc are common tools used to test port connectivity from Linux server. Telnet can be used to test tcp port connections, where as nc can be used to test both tcp/udp ports connectivity. Make sure telnet and nc tools are installed on the Linux server you are trying to test connectivity.
- Select Maintenance > Troubleshooting > Tools > Commands.
- Select the Portprobe command.
- Select either TCP or UDP.
- Enter the target server and port number. ...
- Enter the probe count. ...
- Enter the probe timeout. ...
- Select either the internal port or the management port.
Type the command portqry.exe -local to see all open TCP and UDP ports for your machine. It'll show you everything you can see with the NetStat command, plus port mappings and how many ports are in each state.
- Open the program. Network MAPper (Nmap) is a utility that is used to scan open ports and end devices. ...
- Enter the Internet protocol, or IP, address of the target in the field marked target. ...
- Enter the command in the command box. ...
- Recover the needed information from the scan window below.
- Open a command prompt.
- Type in "telnet <IP ADDRESS OF SERVER PC> <PORT>" and press enter.
- For example, you would type “telnet 123.45. ...
- If a blank screen appears then the port is open, and the test is successful.
- If you receive a connecting... message or an error message then something is blocking that port.
| udp 161 | 0.48% | 4801 |
|---|---|---|
| udp 27003 | 0% | 3 |
| udp 3784 | 0% | 3 |
| udp 44570 | 0% | 2 |
| udp 9408 | 0% | 2 |
Note: Telnet is an application that operates using the TCP protocol. UDP connectivity can not be tested using Telnet.
The netstat utility displays incoming and outgoing network connections (TCP and UDP), host computer routing table information, and interface statistics.

UDP Server :
- Create a UDP socket.
- Bind the socket to the server address.
- Wait until the datagram packet arrives from the client.
- Process the datagram packet and send a reply to the client.
- Go back to Step 3.
What does UDP stand for?
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) refers to a protocol used for communication throughout the internet.
Run netstat -an from a Windows command prompt. Download and run TCPView (which also lists UDP) for a GUI view. Run Wireshark. Run nmap against the server with port in question (by default only scans TCP ports)
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is a communications protocol that is primarily used to establish low-latency and loss-tolerating connections between applications on the internet. UDP speeds up transmissions by enabling the transfer of data before an agreement is provided by the receiving party.
- For Microsoft Windows: netstat -ano | find "1234" | find "LISTEN" tasklist /fi "PID eq 1234"
- For Linux: netstat -anpe | grep "1234" | grep "LISTEN"
Because ping doesn't operate over a protocol with port numbers, you cannot ping a particular port on a machine. However, you can use other tools to open a connection to a particular IP and port and obtain the same information you would get if you could ping an IP and port.
The traceroute command attempts to trace the route an IP packet follows to an Internet host by launching UDP probe packets with a small maximum time-to-live (Hops parameter), then listening for an ICMP TIME_EXCEEDED response from gateways along the way.
The netstat utility displays incoming and outgoing network connections (TCP and UDP), host computer routing table information, and interface statistics.

I think, you can try " show ip nbar port-map " command, this will give you list of tcp and udp ports, this command support certain router. Please rate this post. The show IP socket would give you more insight of what you need. Please do not hesitate to click the STAR button if you are satisfied with my answer.
Why are UDP ports not listening?
UDP is a connectionless, unreliable datagram, (message) protocol, so no need to listen for new connections - datagrams can come in in any order from any source."
@Pacerier UDP is a stateless protocol.
UDP is an alternative to Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Both UDP and TCP run on top of IP and are sometimes referred to as UDP/IP or TCP/IP. However, there are important differences between the two. For example, UDP enables process-to-process communication, while TCP supports host-to-host communication.
