Basic Networking Commands


Aim: Study of Basic Networking Commands

1. ipconfig

The ipconfig command is used to display information about your network configuration and refresh DHCP
and DNS Settings. By default, the ipconfig command displays your IP Address, Subnet Mask, and default
gateway. But with the correct parameters, you can get a lot more information out of it.

2. hostname

The hostname command displays the name of the current host system. Only users with root user authority
can set the host name.

3. ping

Ping is a command-line utility, available on virtually any operating system with network connectivity, that
acts as a test to see if a networked device is reachable. The ping command sends a request over the network
to a specific device.

4. tracert

The tracert command (short for "trace route") is a network diagnostic tool used to track the path packets
take from your computer to a destination (such as a website or another computer). It helps identify where the
path is slow or failing by listing each hop (intermediate device) along the route.

5. pathping

The pathping command is a network utility available on Windows operating systems. It combines the
functionality of both ping and tracert commands to provide a comprehensive analysis of network latency and
packet loss along a path.

6. arp

The arp command in computing stands for Address Resolution Protocol. It is used to display and modify the
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache, which maps IP addresses to MAC addresses on a local network.

arp -a

The arp -a command is used to display the current ARP entries in the ARP cache. This command shows
both static and dynamic entries in the ARP cache.

arp -g

The arp -g command is used to display the current ARP entries in the ARP cache, similar to arp -a.
However, this command only shows the entries that are in the same subnet as the host.

7. netstat

The netstat command is a powerful tool for network administrators and troubleshooters! It's used to display
active Internet connections, routing tables, interface statistics, and protocol statistics.

8. finger

The finger command! It's a classic Unix/Linux command that allows you to retrieve information about a user
on a remote system.
