Experiment No. 6 managing networking in Linux environment.

Aim: Learning and executing Linux commands for managing

networking in Linux environment

Tool: Virtual box, Red Hat Linux.

Theory: Every computer is connected to some other computer through a network whether
internally or externally to exchange some information. This network can be small as some
computers connected in your home or office, or can be large or complicated as in large
universities or the entire Internet.

Maintaining a system's network is a task of a System/Network administrator. Their task includes

network configuration and troubleshooting.

Here is a list of Networking and Troubleshooting commands:

ifconfig Display and manipulate route and network interfaces.

ip It is a replacement of ifconfig command.

traceroute Network troubleshooting utility.

tracepath Similar to traceroute but doesn't require root privileges.

ping To check connectivity between two nodes.

netstat Display connection information.

ss It is a replacement of netstat.

dig Query DNS related information.

nslookup Find DNS related query.

route Shows and manipulate IP routing table.

host Performs DNS lookups.

arp View or add contents of the kernel's ARP table.

iwconfig Used to configure wireless network interface.

hostname To identify a network name.

curl or wget To download a file from internet.

mtr Combines ping and tracepath into a single command.

whois Will tell you about the website's whois.

ifplugstatus Tells whether a cable is plugged in or not.

Procedure: 1.#ifconfig --> Status of all interfaces
