How to Connect with MongoDB Server

MongoDB looks for a database server listening on port 27017 on the localhost interface.
Note: For connect to a server on a different port or interface, use the –port and –host options.

1. Run this : D:\mongodb\bin\mongo.exe

D:\mongodb\bin>mongo.exe
MongoDB shell version: 2.6.4
connecting to: test
Welcome to the MongoDB shell.
For interactive help, type "help".

2. Establish connection from other machine.

D:\mongodb\bin>mongo --host localhost --port 27017
MongoDB shell version: 2.6.4
connecting to: localhost:27017/test
> exit
bye


3. Tried to connect with different port, it failed due to different port number specified.

D:\mongodb\bin> mongo --host localhost --port 27015
MongoDB shell version: 2.6.4
connecting to: localhost:27015/test
