Network Connectivity Testing - sullivaneg/TechJournal-NET150 GitHub Wiki

In this lab I tested the connectivity of the my VMs to the network. Some commands I used in this lab were ping, ipconfig, ipconfig /all, tracert, and nslookup. I've used these before in labs but it's helpful to get practice with them because sometimes I get confused between the windows and linux commaands.

• ping: sends a packet to another computer and tests the connectivity between them, and how long it takes to reach the other computer
• ipconfig: gives you the ethernet adapter information. But only gives you Connection-specific DNS Suffix, IPv4 Address, Subnet Mask, and the Default Gateway.
• ip config / all: gave me more information than ipconfig
• tracert: showed me all the hops between routers it takes for traffic from my computer to reach the specified destination.
• ns lookup: gave me the ipaddresses of the website names I put in.
