Computer System Servicing NCII: Marvin B. Broñoso

The document discusses several DOS commands used for computer networking, including Ping, NetStat, ARP, Hostname, Tracert, IPConfig, NSLookup, Route, and PathPing. Ping is used to test connectivity between hosts by sending ICMP echo requests. NetStat displays network summary information. ARP maps IP addresses to MAC addresses. Hostname displays the local computer name. Tracert and PathPing examine the path to a remote host by sending ICMP echo requests with increasing TTL. IPConfig displays IP configuration. NSLookup diagnoses DNS problems. Route allows viewing and modifying routing tables.

DOS COMMAND PROGRAM USED IN
COMPUTER NETWORKING
Most widely use DOS command but le
ss essential.
Ping is used to test the ability of one n
etwork host to communicate with anot
her. Simply enter the Ping command,
followed by the name or the IP addres
s of the destination host. Assuming
that there are no network problems or
firewalls preventing the ping from
completing, the remote host will PING
respond to the ping with four packets.
Receiving these packets confirms that
a valid and functional network path
exists between the two hosts.

If you are experiencing problems with
network communications, then
network statistics can sometimes help
point you toward the root cause of the
problem. That’s where the aptly name
d NetStat command comes into play.
This command has a number of
different functions, but the most useful
of these is to display network
summary information for the device. NETSTAT
To see this type of summary
information, just type NetStat -e.

The ARP command corresponds to th
e Address Resolution Protocol.
Although it is easy to think of network
communications in terms of IP
addressing, packet delivery is
ultimately dependent on the Media
Access Control (MAC) address of the
device’s network adapter. This is
where the Address Resolution
Protocol comes into play. Its job is to
map IP addresses to MAC addresses.

Fast and easy way of verifying a
computer’s name, then try using the
Hostname command. Typing
Hostname at the command prompt
returns the local computer name.

Tracert, or “Trace Route,” is a utility fo
r examining the path to a remote host.

Functionally, Tracert works similarly to


Ping. The major difference is that Trac
ert sends a series of ICMP echo requ
ests, and the request’s TTL increased
by 1 each time. This allows the utility t
o display the routers through which pa
ckets are passing to be identified. Wh
en possible, Windows displays the dur
ation and IP address or fully qualified TRACERT
domain name of each hop.

One utility that I find myself using con
stantly is IPConfig. At its simplest, the
IPConfig command will display basic
IP address configuration information
for the device. Simply type IPConfig at
the Windows command prompt, and
you will be presented with the
IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway that the device is currently
using.

NSLookup is a great utility for diagnos
ing DNS name resolution problems.
Just type the NSLookup command,
and Windows will display the name
and IP address of the device’s default
DNS server. From there, you can type
host names in an effort to see if the
DNS server is able to resolve the
specified host name.
NSLOOKUP
DOS COMMAND PROGRAM USED IN

P networks use routing tables to direct pa
ckets 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. The cool thing
about the Route command is that it not
only shows you the routing table, it lets
you make changes. Commands such as
Route Add, Route Delete, and Route
Change allow you to make routing
ROUTE
table modifications on an as needed
basis. The changes that you make can be
persistent or non-persistent, depending
on whether you use the -P switch.

Earlier, I talked about the Ping utility and
the Tracert utility, and the similarities
between them. As you might have
guessed, the PathPing tool is a utility that
combines the best aspects of Tracert and
Ping. Entering the PathPing command
followed by a host name initiates what
looks like a somewhat standard Tracert
process. Once this process completes
however, the tool takes 300 seconds
PATHPING
(five minutes) to gather statistics, and
then reports latency and packet loss
statistics that are more detailed than
those provided by Ping or Tracert.

PING Test your network connection

NETSH Configure interfaces, routing protocols,


filters and route.
ACTIVITY

1) Open your DOS Commands


Windows Logo + R = RUN
Types CMD then hit the enter key
2) Type IPCONFIG then ENTER.
3) You will see the different properties of your Ethernet adapter
configuration.
2) Write it down in your notebook.
3) Type TITLE space your FULL NAME then ENTER.
4) This will include your name in your cmd window.
5) PRINT SCREEN then save it as IPCONFIG
ACTIVITY
ACTIVITY

8) Now type IPCONFIG /ALL


This will show you all your current IP information in all adapters. You can also
find your DNS server and MAC Address. It will share all the specific
information of your Ethernet adapter full TCP/IP configuration. You can also
see you default gateway and own IP address.
9) PRINT SCREEN then save it as IPCONFIG ALL
10) Now type IPCONFIG /RELEASE
Use IPCONFIG release to release your current IP information and obtain a
new IP Address from the DHCP server.

11) PRINT SCREEN then save it as IPCONFIG RELEASE


ACTIVITY

12) Now type IPCONFIG /RENEW


This will renew your IP ADDRESS if you have it set to obtain IP address
automatically

13) PRINT SCREEN then save it as IPCONFIG RENEW

14) Now type IPCONFIG /displaydns


Use to show your current DNS resolver cache logs.

15) PRINT SCREEN then save it as IPCONFIG DISPLAYDNS

16) Now check the default gateway address using IPCONFIG /ALL
ACTIVITY

17) Now we will use the PING commands.


Type PING + GATEWAY ADDRESS (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)

18) PRINT SCREEN then save your work.

19) Send to me thru EDMODO all the screen shots you made.
