Solana WebSocket URL Port doesn't shown on netstat – CentOS

I’d like to add WebSocket URL as:

http://0.0.0.0:8900

So I typed solana config get to get the location of config.yaml file. Then changed the WebSocket URL as followed above, however, after restarting the node and the server http://0.0.0.0:8900 is not listed on netstat -tulpn . Do I have to do anything else or my node is unable to recognize the comfig.yaml file? Or do I have to pass additional parameter while starting the node? Any help appreciated thanks in advance.

Result of solana config get:

Config File: /home/centos/.config/solana/cli/config.yml
RPC URL: http://api.devnet.solana.com
WebSocket URL: http://0.0.0.0:8900
Keypair Path: /home/centos/solana/validator-keypair.json
Commitment: confirmed

It changes the WebSocket URL after I modify the config.yaml file but doesn’t listed in netstat.

    solana config get only shows the client configuration, and not the node / validator configuration.

    If you’re using either solana-validator or solana-test-validator, you can set the rpc-port at the command line, and the websocket port will be right after:

    $ solana-test-validator --rpc-port 10001

    and somewhere else, you can see:

    $ ss -l
<... truncated ...>
tcp     LISTEN   0        1024         0.0.0.0:10001      0.0.0.0:*
tcp     LISTEN   0        1024         0.0.0.0:10002      0.0.0.0:*

    So the websocket port is 10002.

    To have the client connect to this validator, you can do:

    solana config set -u http://localhost:10001

    This is how I started the node:

    solana-validator 
  --ledger /home/centos/solana/data/ 
  --identity /home/centos/solana/validator-keypair.json 
  --entrypoint entrypoint.mainnet-beta.solana.com:8001 
  --expected-genesis-hash 5eykt4UsFv8P8NJdTREpY1vzqKqZKvdpKuc147dw2N9d 
  --rpc-port 8899 
  --dynamic-port-range 8000-8020 
  --no-voting 
  --enable-rpc-transaction-history 
  --limit-ledger-size 
  --known-validator 7Np41oeYqPefeNQEHSv1UDhYrehxin3NStELsSKCT4K2 
  --known-validator GdnSyH3YtwcxFvQrVVJMm1JhTS4QVX7MFsX56uJLUfiZ 
  --known-validator DE1bawNcRJB9rVm3buyMVfr8mBEoyyu73NBovf2oXJsJ 
  --known-validator CakcnaRDHka2gXyfbEd2d3xsvkJkqsLw2akB3zsN1D2S 
  --only-known-rpc 
  --no-port-check 
  --full-rpc-api

    I did pass the port as 8899, so by default WS port should be 8900 right? I also changed the config.yml file to make it 0.0.0.0 in order to connect outside of the node. It’s visible in netstat ports but I can connect to 8900 only locally.

    Config File: /home/centos/.config/solana/cli/config.yml
RPC URL: http://0.0.0.0:8899
WebSocket URL: ws://0.0.0.0:8900
Keypair Path: /home/centos/validator-keypair.json
