open port on ubuntu in azure

Question

I have created an ubuntu image in windows azure vm. I am trying to open port 7171 to the outside world. how can I do it?

I have tried issue the iptables command but it did not work, not sure if I did not use it correctly or there is azure level setting to set?

EDIT: maybe it is opened only on localhost and not to the world? how can I verify that?

the output is empty. tried to redirect output with > but still empty — Yaron Naveh, Jul 11 '12 at 18:39

Using Azure's new portal:

Open your VM.
Go to Network interfaces in the Settings window
Click on your network interface
In the network interface window, there is a "Network security group" section
In the network security group's settings click on "Inbound security rules"
Add a new rule

I'm not sure if there is a shorter way of getting there.. Next time I'll make sure to set up my ports when creating a VM.

You'll need to add it as an endpoint instead. From the Windows Azure preview portal, select Virtual Machines -> Your virtual machine. Then click the endpoints tab and finally New. You can see there that only SSH port is open by default.

In the newer version of the Azure portal (v3) the steps are slightly different now. If you select virtual machines from the left menu and then select a specific VM and then select Networking you can add inbound/outbound rules for specific ports for each VM.
