TCPCON is an NLM^TM utility that provides access to statistics and information about the status of various components of the TCP/IP protocol suite. It uses SNMP to access this information from any local or remote system on the network. TCPCON operates over TCP/IP networks. Use TCPCON to monitor a remote system.

You can use TCPCON to perform the following tasks:

• Monitor activity in the TCP/IP network segments of your internetwork
• Display configuration information and statistics about the following TCP/IP protocols: IP, ICMP, UDP, TCP, OSPF, and EGP
• Display the IP routes currently known to a TCP/IP node
• Display the network interfaces supported by a TCP/IP node
• Access TCP/IP information in any remote protocol stack supporting the TCP/IP Management Information Base (MIB)
