4.19 NETSTAT

The NETSTAT command is used to query TCP/IP about the network status of the local host. The exact syntax of this command is very implementation-dependent. See the User's Guide or the Command Reference Manual of your implementation for full details. It is a useful tool for debugging purposes.

In general, NETSTAT will provide information on:

• Active TCP connections at this local host.
• State of all TCP/IP servers on this local host and the sockets used by them.
• Devices and links used by TCP/IP.
• The IP routing tables (gateway tables) in use at this local host.

The NETSTAT command is implemented in TCP/IP for VM, MVS, OS/400, OS/2, DOS and all AIX systems.
