Work with TCP/IP Network Sts (WRKTCPSTS)

The Work with TCP/IP Network Status (WRKTCPSTS) command, also known as NETSTAT, is used to get information about the status of TCP/IP network routes, interfaces, TCP connections and UDP ports on your local system. You can also use NETSTAT to end TCP/IP connections and to start or end TCP/IP interfaces.

If IP over SNA (IPS) is enabled, NETSTAT displays information about the IP over SNA interfaces, routes, and connections. You can also use NETSTAT to end IP over SNA connections and to start or end IP over SNA interfaces.
