Lab No. 4 Diagnostic Utilities of Network Lab Task: 1. IP Config

The document discusses several diagnostic utilities used for TCP/IP networks: IP config displays IP address and routing information, ping verifies IP connectivity, NS lookup queries DNS, NETSTAT displays network connections and statistics, route manipulates routing tables, and ARP displays and modifies IP to physical address mappings. It provides parameters for each utility and asks homework questions about assigning static IPs, using multiple IPs, differences between ping and pathping, finding active IPs, verifying remote connections, and displaying local TCP/IP settings.

Diagnostic Utilities of Network
Lab Task
1. IP config:
It displays only the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway for each
adapter bound to TCP/IP.
IP config parameters are:
 Ipconfig – release
Release the IPv4 address for the specified adapter.

 Ipconfig -renew
Renew the IPv4 address for the specified adapter.
2. Ping
It helps to verify IP-level connectivity.

Ping parameters are:


 Ping -t
Ping the specified host until stopped.

 Ping -a
Resolve addresses to hostnames.

3. NS lookup
It is use for querying the Domain Name System (DNS) to obtain domain
name or IP address mapping or for any other specific DNS record.
NSlookup parameters are:
 NSlookup -d
list all records

 NSlookup -view
Sorts the output file from the 'ls' option described earlier and displays
it page by page.
4. NETSTAT
Displays protocol statistics and current TCP/IP network connections.

NETSTAT parameters are:


 NETSTAT -a
Displays all connections and listening ports.
 NETSTAT -e
Displays Ethernet statistics.

5. Route
Manipulates network routing tables.

Route parameters are:


 Route PRINT
Prints a route
 Route ADD
Adds a route

6. ARP
Displays and modifies the IP-to-Physical address translation tables used by
address resolution protocol (ARP).

ARP parameters are:


 ARP -a
Displays current ARP entries by interrogating the current protocol
data.

 ARP -v
Displays current ARP entries in verbose mode.
