To answer all of your questions:

How will we check that clients taking update from GUP or SEPM server using management console?

I wrote an article on using advanced filters. To check that clients are receiving update from the correct source, use advanced filtering keywork "SYLINK"

SEPM 12.1 - Advanced Settings filter options for Client Activity logs

What is the communication cycle process to update SEP clients using GUP and except GUP.

The SEPM will update it's content and make it available. On next heartbeat, the GUPs will pull down content from the SEPM. After that the clients wil check in to the SEPM and realize new content is available at which point they will reach out to their respective GUP.

In which way communication take place between client, GUP and SEPM server using 8014 and 2967 port?

Client to SEPM communication takes place over tcp 8014. Client to GUP communication takes place over 2967.

Ways to update SEP clients without using GUP?

Symantec LiveUpdate; The SEPM; or LiveUpdate Administrator.

Dear Ambesh

Thanks for update

Still I am not clear with point that how will we know client activity that from which source(GUP or SEPM Server) it download update definition.

I want this details from SEPM console. How i will got these details of all clients which are communicated with SEPM console/GUP?

See my article I linked above on using Advanced filters.

When you see the decripition it would be mention as downloaded from Group update provider or Symantec endpoint protection mananger

Thanks Brian

I am able to get details of definition update on SEP clients.
