Hi,

There is a question that is bothering me for a while now: why the Distributed Cache service TCP port 22235 is NOT LISTENING?

I have two Distributed Cache nodes, Windows firewall has been turned off on both nodes. I tried many scenarios, but the Arbitration port 22235 still not listening.

both nodes are configured the same:

Thanks,
Farid

    Hi @Farid Mazari Boufares ,

    Per my research, arbitration port 22235 is used to if a cache host fails, the arbitration port is used to make certain that the cache host is unavailable. It seems that this port not listening is by design.
