In this lab we tested network connectivity using Windows command prompt.

we specifically looked at the following commands:

---

ping -it is used to test if a networked device is reachable. it is used in this format >ping

---

tracert- returns the output of each hop it takes to reach the ip, the format is >tracert <ipaddress/domain name>

---

nslookup - used to obtain domain name or ip address mapping. it is used in this format >nslookup <ip/domain name>

---

ipconfig - it provides all ip/network information it is used by just typing >ipconfig and will display the information

---

There were no problems that I encountered in this lab

---

Lab questions:

Record the following for the ipconfig, ping, tracert, and nslookup commands. What information does each command provide?How do you use each one?

ipconfig: it provides all ip/network information it is used by just typing ipconfig and will display the information

ping: it is used to test if a networked device is reachable. it is used in this format >ping

tracert: returns the output of each hop it takes to reach the ip, the format is >tracert <ipaddress/domain name>
