Which command is used to check if the HTTP server port is bound to the correct IP?

The command used to check if the HTTP server port is bound to the correct IP is netstat. This command provides information on network connections, including the state of sockets, routing tables, interface statistics, and multicast memberships. By using netstat, you can view which IP addresses and ports are currently in use, including the HTTP port, typically port 80 for standard HTTP or port 443 for HTTPS. This allows you to confirm that the web server is actively listening for connections on the intended IP address and port combination.

Other options serve different purposes: ping is used to check the reachability of a host and measure round-trip time for messages sent to the destination; traceroute helps determine the path packets take to a particular host, revealing the route and any potential points of failure; nslookup is used for querying the Domain Name System (DNS) to find IP addresses associated with domain names, but does not provide information about whether ports are bound. Hence, netstat is the appropriate command for this task.
