title: Cassandra nodetool connection timed out
body: <p>Im trying to use nodetool to check the status of my cluster, but its unable to connect.</p>
  
  <p>My cassandra.yaml is configured with listen_address and rpc_address set as the server IP (e.g. 10.10.10.266).</p>
  
  <p>Im able to connect through cqlsh and cassandra-cli using the same IP, but when I connect to nodetool it doesnt work.</p>
  
  <pre><code>/bin$ nodetool -h 10.10.10.266 ring
  Failed to connect to '10.10.10.266:7199': Connection has timed out
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I dont think I have a firewall enabled on the server (Ubuntu). Im running this directly on the server in question, so I wouldnt have thought it would be a firewall issue anyway.</p>
