| -d |
Show the state of all interfaces that are under Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) control. |
| -D |
Show the status of DHCP configured interfaces. |
| -f address_family |

can be one of:
inet For the AF_INET address family
unix For the AF_Unix address family
|
| -P protocol |
Limit display of statistics or state of all
sockets to those applicable to protocol. |
| - I interface |
Show the state of a particular interface.
interface can be any valid interface such as ie0 or

netstat
Displays generic net statistics of
the host you are currently connected to.
netstat -an
Shows all connections to the server including the
source and destination ips and ports if you have proper permissions.
netstat -rn
Displays routing table for all ips bound to the
server.
netstat -an |grep :80 |wc -l
Display the amount of active connections on
port 80. Removing the pipe and wc command would display each connection.
netstat -natp
