Using Netstat from a character-based interface

You can use Netstat from a character-based interface to help you troubleshoot problems with TCP/IP connectivity.

From the character-based interface, use the Work with Network Status menu to work with the network status functions. You must have TCP/IP started on the system to use the menu options.

To start TCP/IP, type STRTCP on the command line, and press Enter.

To display the Work with Network Status menu, type NETSTAT or WRKTCPSTS on the command line, and press Enter.
