Using Netstat from iSeries Navigator

You can use the network status functions (known as Netstat in the character-based interface) in iSeries™ Navigator to troubleshoot TCP/IP problems.

iSeries Navigator is a graphical user interface that provides dialog boxes and wizards to configure and manage TCP/IP. To use the network status functions in iSeries Navigator, follow these steps:

1. In iSeries Navigator, expand your system > Network > TCP/IP Configuration.

2. Expand IPv4 to access the status of interfaces, routes, and connections for your IPv4 connectivity, or expand IPv6 to access the status of interfaces, routes, connections, and the neighbor cache for your IPv6 connectivity.

3. Expand Lines to view a list of the physical lines that are used for TCP/IP.

Select one of these network components to begin troubleshooting.

• Using Netstat from iSeries Navigator: Interfaces
  You might want to verify that the appropriate IPv4 or IPv6 interfaces are configured on your system and that they are active.

• Using Netstat from iSeries Navigator: Routes
  If you are trying to ping an interface address and do not receive a reply, you should verify that your routes are configured and available.

• Using Netstat from iSeries Navigator: Connections
  You need to verify the status of your IPv4 and IPv6 connections.
