Lab 1 - FlameSpyro/Tech-Journal GitHub Wiki

For this lab we used the command prompt to test out very basic commands. To access the command prompt for Windows 10, click the search bar at the bottom left then type cmd and hit enter.

The following commands were used in the lab:

Ipconfig: Shows basic IP address info of network connection. To use it simply type the prompt once the command line appears.

Ipconfig /all: Gives much more advanced information when it comes to IP info. To use this command type this command with a space between the /all in the command line.

Ping: Test if a computer can talk to another computer. To use this command make sure to type ping along with the IP address you want to test with.

Tracert: Shows every step to connect to a website url. This command involves you typing tracert along with a url right after.

Nslookup: Shows the DNS and IP of a website searched. First type nslookup and some text will popup and the command line should just say >, from there type the website you want to search and press enter.
