Understanding output of nmap and firewall-cmd command


Dear Linux Guru's,

I have a confusion here in regards to interpreting outut from both command.

From nmap it appears port 22 and 443 are open but firewall-cmd says it is not open, which one is true??

Code:
[root@vagrant-puppet foreman]# nmap vagrant-puppet.netgear

Starting Nmap 6.40 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2016-09-07 13:33 BST
Nmap scan report for vagrant-puppet.netgear (192.168.1.16)
Host is up (0.000011s latency).
Not shown: 996 closed ports
PORT     STATE SERVICE
22/tcp   open  ssh
80/tcp   open  http
443/tcp  open  https
8443/tcp open  https-alt

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.20 seconds
[root@vagrant-puppet foreman]#
And Have a look at firewall-cmd query output:
Code:
[root@vagrant-puppet foreman]# firewall-cmd --query-port=443/tcp
no
[root@vagrant-puppet foreman]# firewall-cmd --query-port=22/tcp
no
[root@vagrant-puppet foreman]# firewall-cmd --query-port=22/tcp
no
[root@vagrant-puppet foreman]#
Does that mean port 22 and 443 are not open or open ?

What happens when you scan for open ports from another computer on your LAN?

Try firewall-cmd --list-all to see what services/ports are open in firewalld.
