Use 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 server to use the menu options. The menu options are activated only when TCP/IP is started.

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.

Select one of these network components to begin troubleshooting:

Interfaces
You might want to verify interfaces on the server.
Routes
You need to verify that the appropriate routes are configured.
Connections
You need to verify the status of your IPv4 and IPv6 connections.
