TCP/IP commands
TCP/IP Commands can be entered– TSO ready prompt– ISPF Command Shell– Prefixing the command with TSO on any ISPF command line. • NETSTAT • PING• TRACERTE• NSLOOKUP• TELNET• FTP
– z/OS UNIX shell prompt (prefix “o”=command)• onetstat

Common VTAM commands
D NET,VTAMOPTS Displays VTAM startup options. D NET,CSM[,OWNERID=ALL] Displays communication storage usage. D NET,APPLS Displays status of defined applications (ACBs). D NET,MAJNODES Displays status of VTAM activated ATCCONxx members. D NET,TOPO,LIST=SUMMARY Displays APPN topology information. D NET,CPCP Displays status of APPN CP-CP sessions. D NET,SESSIONS Displays status of subarea SSCP-SSCP sessions. D NET,CDRMS Displays status of subarea cross domain resource
managers. D NET,EXIT Displays status of VTAM exit points.
