Description: Disables transactions (or messages) on the specified port and then re-enables the port after a brief delay. The command lets you stop and start a port without stopping the IBM® Lotus® Domino® server.

When you are supporting Internet servers that rely on TCP/IP, you can restart the TCP/IP port and the Internet ports enter a waiting state. The Internet ports suspend and keep checking for the TCP/IP port. You will see the following when using restart port TCPIP:
