Networking commands

Ipconfig

IPCONFIG is a command-line utility windows, React OS, mac os and collection of other Operating systems, which is used to display and manage network configuration settings such as IP addressing, sub netting mask, DNS addressing, Port identificaition, Default gateways etc .It is a global and versatile CLI used for troubleshooting , configuting and also used to make the optimization work in connectivity.

Ping

A ping is a basic Internet command that allows a user to test and verify whether a given destination IP address exists and can accept requests in computer network administration. Ping is also used for diagnosis to confirm that the computer the user tries to reach is operational. Ping can be used with any operating system (OS) that supports networking, including the majority of embedded network administration software 

HostnameA hostname is essentially a shorthand for a computer or other device attached to a computer network with a unique IP address, which is the physical address of the web server. Computers require names to distinguish one machine from another, just as a name server. Computers require names to distinguish one machine from another, just as a name is used to identify a person, a place, or a thing.

Arp –a

arp -a is a command-line utility in Windows operating systems that displays the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache. The ARP cache contains mappings between IP addresses and their corresponding MAC addresses, which are used for network communication on a local subnet.

Getmac

getmac is a command-line utility in Windows operating systems that retrieves the Media Access Control (MAC) addresses for network adapters on a system. The MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to each network interface card (NIC) for communication on the physical network.

Tracert

In networking, understanding the path that data packets take from one point to another is crucial for diagnosing and troubleshooting connectivity issues. One of the most valuable tools for this purpose is the traceroute command in Linux. Traceroute is a command-line tool used in Linux or other operating systems to track the path that data takes from your computer to a specified destination, such as a website.

NBtstat

nbtstat is a command-line utility in Windows operating systems that provides information about NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) connections and statistics. It's useful for troubleshooting NetBIOS name resolution issues and displaying various NetBIOS-related information

Route

A Router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer network. This device is usually connected to two or more different networks. When a packet arrives at a Router, it examines destination IP address of a received packet and make routing decisions accordingly. Routers use Routing Tables to determine out which interface the packet will be sent. A routing table lists all networks for which routes are known. Each router’s routing table is unique and stored in the RAM of the device 

Ls

ls is a Linux shell command that lists directory contents of files and directories.  It provides valuable information about files, directories, and their attributes.
