Name: Jay K Shrotriya

Aim: To study and execute the diferent networking commands.

1.) Arp:

Displays and modifies the IP-to-Physical address translation tables used by address resolution protocol (ARP).

2.) Ping:

Short for Packet InterNet roper! pin" is a utility used to #erify $hether or not

net$ork data packet is capable of bein" distributed to an address $ithout errors. %he pin" utility is

commonly used to check for net$ork errors.

3.) Tracert:

%he tracert command is used to #isually see a net$ork packet bein" sent and recei#ed and the

amount of hops re&uired for that packet to "et to its destination.

4.) Ipconfg:

Displays all current %'PIP net$ork confi"uration #alues and refreshes Dynamic ost 'onfi"uration

Protocol (D'P) and Domain Name System (DNS) settin"s. *sed $ithout parameters!

ipconfi" displays the IP address! subnet mask! and default "ate$ay for all adapters.



5.) Hostname:

Display the hostname of the machine the command is bein" run on.

'+,*sers,ayhostname

*RA

'+,*sers,ay

6.) Net:

%he net command is used to update! fi/! or #ie$ the net$ork or net$ork settin"s.





7.) Netstat:

%he netstat command is a 'ommand Prompt command used to display #ery detailed information about

ho$ your computer is communicatin" $ith other computers or net$ork de#ices.

Specifically! the netstat command can sho$ details about indi#idual net$ork connections! o#erall and

protocol-specific net$orkin" statistics! and much more! all of $hich could help troubleshoot certainkinds of net$orkin" issues.

-e - *se this s$itch $ith the netstat command to sho$ statistics about your net$ork connection. %his

data includes bytes! unicast packets! non-unicast packets! discards! errors! and unkno$n protocols

recei#ed and sent since the connection $as established.

-n 0 *se the -n s$itch to pre#ent netstat from attemptin" to determine host names for forei"n IP

addresses. Dependin" on your current net$ork connections! usin" this s$itch could considerably reduce

the time it takes for netstat to fully e/ecute .

-o 0 A handy option for many troubleshootin" tasks! the -o s$itch displays the process identifier (PID)

associated $ith each displayed connection. See the e/ample belo$ for more about usin" netstat -o.

-p 0 *se the -p s$itch to sho$ connections or statistics only for a particular protocol. 1ou cannot define

more than one protocol at once! nor can you e/ecute netstat $ith -p $ithout definin" a protocol.



-r 0 2/ecute netstat $ith -r to sho$ the IP routin" table. %his is the same as usin" the route command to

e/ecute route print.



8.) Getmac:

%his tool enables an administrator to display the 3A' address for net$ork adapters on a system.

9.) Nslookup:

Displays information that you can use to dia"nose the domain name system infrastructure. %he

nslookup command line tool is a#ailable only if you ha#e installed the %'PIP protocol.



10.) Pathpin:

%he pathpin" command is a route tracin" tool that combines features of the pin" and tracert commands

$ith additional information that neither of those tools pro#ides. %he pathpin" command sends packets to

each router on the $ay to a final destination o#er a period of time! and then computes results based on

the packets returned from each hop. Since the command sho$s the de"ree of packet loss at any "i#en

router or link! it is easy to determine $hich routers or links mi"ht be causin" net$ork problems.

11.) !iner:

Displays information about a user or users on a specified remote computer (typically a computer

runnin" *NI4) that is runnin" the 5in"er ser#ice or daemon. %he remote computer specifies the

format and output of the user information display. *sed $ithout parameters! fin"er displays help.



"onclusion:

%his $e ha#e successfully e/ecuted the different net$orkin" commands.
