Digital Equipment RapidPrint 500, Reference Manual, Page: 125 / 192

Command Reference Netstat
11 - 7
11.14 Netstat
The Netstat command shows the currently active network connections. Information is displayed
for the AppleTalk, LAT, LAN Manager, Netware and TCP/IP protocols. This information is prima-
rily meant for debugging network problems.
11.15 Ping
Ping sends a TCP/IP request for an echo packet to another network host and therefore provides an
easy way to test network connections. In general, any host that supports TCP/IP will respond if it
is able, regardless of login restrictions, job load, or operating system. If there is no reply from the
host, there may be a network or TCP/IP configuration problem.
Parameters hostname
Either a text hostname or IP address can be provided.
Examples
Local> PING 192.0.1.23
Local> PING hydra.local.net
See Also Configuration Guide .
11.16 Purge
Purge commands permanently remove an entry (service or IP host) from the server’s database
when the unit is rebooted. Purge does not affect the current operating characteristics.
Because Purge is similar to Clear, some Purge commands are explained together with their corre-
sponding Clear commands earlier in this chapter.
