Lab Networking 1 - echadbourne/ChadbourneSYS-140 GitHub Wiki

Summary:

• In this lab we explored various different commands that you can use to explore and troubleshoot a network from a workstation. Commands will be attached below, but we looked at the routes of packets, pinged different domains and IPs to see what happens, explored how to get the IP and MAC information from a workstation, and how to find statistics for a network

Commands (Windows):

• ping - Sends and receives packets from a given IP or domain name; can be used to test connectivity
• tracert - Sends a data packet to a given IP or domain name and displace the route that packet takes
• getmac - displays the MAC address of the workstation
• hostname - displays the name of the workstation
• netstat - displays useful network statistics like active TCP connections, IP routing table, Ethernet statistics, and more
• ipconfig /all - displays all of the network information that is applicable for the workstation, including IPv4 address, MAC address. Default Gateway, and more

Problems:

• None
