The document describes an experiment to understand the working of basic network commands and network configuration commands. It lists 20 different commands including ping, ipconfig, tracert, netstat, nslookup, hostname, pathping and their functions. The objective is to understand how these commands work and configure network settings. The result is that the working of various network commands was understood.

EXPERIMENT NO:-2
AIM:. Study the basic network command and Network configuration commands like ping, variations of ipconfig, tracert, nslookup, netstat, arp, rarp, hostname, pathping etc. Objective: To understand the working of basic network command and network configuration commands. Software Requirement: Command prompt.
Hardwire Requirement: Nil.
Theory:-
1.Color: Change the background color of the command prompt window.
2.Ping: Verifies IP-level connectivity to another TCP/IP computer by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo Request messages.
3.IPConfig/all: Displays the full TCP/IP configuration for all adapters. Without this parameter, ipconfig displays only the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway values for each adapter.
ISHAN 18BCS2992 4.IPConfig/release: Sends a dhcp release message to the dhcp server to release the current DHCP configuration and discard the IP address configuration for either all adapters (if an adapter is not specified) or for a specific adapter if the Adapter parameter is included.
5.IPConfig/renew:Renews DHCP configuration for all adapters (if an adapter is not
specified) or for a specific adapter if the Adapter parameter is included.
6.IPConfig/displaydns: Displays the contents of the DNS client resolver cache, which includes both entries preloaded from the local Hosts file and any recently obtained resource records for name queries resolved by the computer.
7.IPConfig/flushdns: Flushes and resets the contents of the DNS client resolver cache.
8.Tracert: Determines the path taken to a destination by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo Request messages to the destination with incrementally increasing Time to Live (TTL) field values.
ISHAN 18BCS2992 9.Netstat: Displays active TCP connections, ports on which the computer is listening, Ethernet statistics, the IP routing table.
10.Nslookup: Nslookup (stands for “Name Server Lookup”) is a useful command for getting information from DNS server.
11.Hostname: A hostname is a name which is given to a computer and it attached to the
network. Its main purpose is to uniquely identify over a network.
12.CLS:CLS (for clearscreen)is a command used by the command-line interpreters
command.
13.Pathping: The PathPing command is a command-line network utility supplied in Windows
2000 and beyond that combines the functionality of ping with that of tracert.
ISHAN 18BCS2992 14.Systeminfo: Specifies the name or IP address of a remote computer (do not use backslashes). The default is the local computer. Runs the command with the account permissions specified by User or Domain\User.
15.getmac: Getmac is a Windows command used to display the Media Access Control (MAC) addresses for each network adapter in the computer.
16.arp-a: The "arp" Command. arp displays and modifies entries in the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache, which contains one or more tables that are used to store IP addresses and their resolved Ethernet or Token Ring physical addresses.
17.powerclg1: A command-line utility that you can use to trace the path that an Internet Protocol (IP) packet takes to its destination.
18.Route: IP networks use routing tables to direct packets from one subnet to another. The Windows Route utility allows you to view the device’s routing tables. To do so, simply type Route Print.
19.FTPserver: FTP is file transfer protocol, this server is where files may be stored.
20.FType: The ftype command was introduced as a shell builtin to cmd.exe with the release of Windows NT 4.0. It lists all Registry keys in HKEY CLASSES ROOT which contain the shell\open\command subkey, and prints out the REG SZ contents of the (default) value within these keys.
Result: Understood the working of various network of command.
