Networking Commands

List of Commands
• NSLOOKUP
• ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)
• IPCONFIG
• TRACERT
• HOSTNAME
• GETMAC
• NBTSTAT
• PATHPING
• PING
• NETSTAT
• SYSTEMINFO
NSLOOKUP

• Users enter a host name and find out the


corresponding IP address or domain name system
(DNS) record. Users can also enter a command in
nslookup to do a reverse DNS lookup and find the
host name for a specified IP address.
ARP (Address Resolution
Protocol)
• The ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is like a
networking translator. When you want to
communicate with another device on a network
but only know its IP address, ‘ARP’ steps in to find
the device’s physical or MAC address. This
establishes smooth communication by translating
between IP and MAC addresses, helping your
devices connect seamlessly.
IPCONFIG

• Imagine IPCONFIG as your network identity card.


When you want to know details about your
computer’s network setup – like your IP address,
gateway, and subnet mask.
TRACERT
• `TRACERT` as your virtual journey planner through
the internet. When you want to know the path your
data takes to reach a website or server, `tracert` is
your guide.
• Simply type `tracert` followed by the website’s
name (tracert www.destination_host_name.com)
or IP address, and it reveals each hop your data
makes, showing you the route and any delays along
the way.
HOSTNAME
• HOSTNAME is like your computer’s name tag in the
digital world. It’s an easy way to find out what your
computer calls itself on the network.

• Just type ‘hostname‘ in the command prompt, and


it reveals the unique name your computer goes by.
It might seem simple, but knowing your hostname
is handy for networking and troubleshooting tasks.
GETMAC

• When you’re on a Windows system and want to


know the physical addresses (MAC addresses) of
your network adapters, `getmac` is your go-to
command.
NBTSTAT

• This command reveals information like NetBIOS


names, IP addresses, and the current state of your
NetBIOS over TCP/IP connections. It’s a handy tool
for troubleshooting and understanding the NetBIOS
side of your network interactions.

• This command only works when the Internet


Protocol (TCP/IP) is installed on a network adapter
in Network Connections.
PATHPING

• PATHPING as your network explorer. When you’re


curious about the route your data takes to reach a
destination and want more detailed insights than a
regular traceroute, use `pathping`.
• Just type `pathping` followed by the destination
address, and it not only traces the route but is also
used to locate spots that have network loss and
network latency.
Ping
• Ping checks if your computer can connect to
another one on the internet. It sends a message
and waits for a reply, showing how long it takes.

• Just type ‘ping’ followed by the target’s IP address


or domain name, and it sends out a signal (ping) to
see if there’s a response. If you use it without
saying anything special (target’s IP address or
domain name), it gives you helpful information.
NETSTAT
• Just type ‘netstat’, short for network statistics, is a
command-line tool that shows network
connections for both incoming and outgoing
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), routing tables,
and various statistics related to network interfaces
(either hardware-based network interface
controllers or software-defined network interfaces)
and network protocols.
SYSTEMINFO

• Just type `systeminfo` in the command prompt. It


provides a wealth of information, giving you a
snapshot of your system’s health and configuration.
It’s like your computer’s personal biography in a
command, perfect for understanding and managing
your Windows environment.
• Loop back address – 127.0.0.1
