NETWORK UTILITIES &

APPLICATION
OUTLINE
• Telnet

• Netsat

• ifconfig/ipconfig

• ping

• TFTP

• Remote Login
TELNET

• Telnet is a network protocol and application that allows users to remotely access
and interact with a computer or network device over a TCP/IP network.

• It provides a text-based interface through which users can log in to a remote host
and execute commands as if they were physically present at the machine.

• Telnet operates on the client-server model, where the Telnet client connects to
the Telnet server to establish a session.
TELNET

• Telnet enables remote administration and management of devices and systems,


making it convenient for network administrators and system operators.

• It provides a simple and lightweight method for accessing and controlling remote
systems without requiring heavy graphical user interfaces.

• Telnet sessions can be established between different operating systems, allowing


cross-platform access and administration.
TELNET

• To establish a Telnet connection to a remote host: telnet


<hostname or IP address>
NETSTAT

• Netstat (network statistics) is a command-line tool used to display network


connections, routing tables, and network interface statistics on a computer.

• It provides detailed information about active network connections, listening


ports, routing information, and other network-related statistics.

• Netstat is available on various operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and


Linux.
NETSTAT

• Netstat allows network administrators and system operators to monitor network


connections, identify network-related issues, and troubleshoot network problems.

• It provides valuable information about open ports, established connections, and


network traffic, helping in diagnosing network performance and security issues.

• Netstat can be used to detect suspicious or unauthorized network connections


and identify potential security breaches.
NETSTAT

• To display all active network connections: netstat -a

• To show listening ports: netstat -l

• To view routing information: netstat -r


IFCONFIG/IPCONFIG

• ifconfig (short for "interface configuration") and ipconfig are command-line tools used to
configure and display network interface information on Unix-like and Windows systems,
respectively.

• They provide a convenient way to view and manage network interface settings, including IP
addresses, subnet masks, network gateway information, and more.

• ifconfig is commonly found on Unix-like systems such as Linux, macOS, and BSD, while
ipconfig is used on Windows.
IFCONFIG/IPCONFIG

• ifconfig/ipconfig allows users to view and configure network interface settings, such as
assigning IP addresses, setting up DNS servers, enabling or disabling interfaces, and more.

• It helps in diagnosing and troubleshooting network connectivity issues by providing


information about the current network configuration and interface status.

• ifconfig/ipconfig can be used to gather network information for system administration


tasks, network monitoring, and troubleshooting purposes.
IFCONFIG/IPCONFIG

• To display the network interface configuration: ifconfig (on Unix-


like systems) or ipconfig (on Windows)

• To configure a specific network interface with an IP address:


ifconfig <interface> <IP address> (on Unix-like systems) or ipconfig
<interface> <IP address> (on Windows)
PING

• Ping is a command-line utility used to test the reachability and responsiveness


of a host or network device over an IP network.

• It works by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo Request


packets to the target host and waiting for ICMP Echo Reply packets in response.

• Ping is available on various operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and


Linux.
PING

• Ping helps in troubleshooting network connectivity issues by determining if a


host or device is reachable on the network.

• It provides information about network latency (round-trip time) between the


source and destination, aiding in diagnosing network performance problems.

• Ping can be used to verify network configuration, test the stability of network
connections, and monitor network availability.
PING

• To send ICMP Echo Request packets to a remote host: ping


<hostname or IP address>

• To set the number of ICMP Echo Requests to send: ping -c <count>


<hostname or IP address>
TFTP (TRIVIAL FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL)

• TFTP is a simple file transfer protocol that allows the transfer of files between a client and a
server over a network.

• It operates on top of the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and is commonly used for booting
diskless workstations, firmware updates, and transferring configuration files in network
devices.

• TFTP uses a basic set of commands to request file transfers, and it does not provide user
authentication or encryption.
TFTP (TRIVIAL FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL)

• TFTP is lightweight and easy to implement, making it suitable for simple


file transfer requirements.

• It is widely supported by various operating systems and network devices.

• TFTP can be used for automated firmware upgrades, network device


provisioning, and other similar scenarios.
TFTP (TRIVIAL FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL)

• To transfer a file from a TFTP server: tftp -g -r <filename> <TFTP


server IP address>

• To put (upload) a file to a TFTP server: tftp -p -l <filename> <TFTP


server IP address>
REMOTE LOGIN

• Remote Login, also known as remote shell or remote terminal, allows users to
access and control a remote computer or server over a network.

• It provides the ability to log in to a remote system and execute commands as if


the user were physically present at the machine.

• Remote Login is commonly used for remote administration, remote access to


resources, and remote collaboration.
REMOTE LOGIN

• Remote Login eliminates the need for physical access to a computer or server,
enabling remote administration and management.

• It allows users to access resources and execute commands on a remote system,


making it convenient for remote work, troubleshooting, and system maintenance.

• Remote Login protocols often provide secure encryption and authentication


mechanisms to protect data transmission and ensure secure access.
REMOTE LOGIN

• To establish an SSH connection to a remote host: ssh


<username>@<hostname or IP address>

• To specify a custom port for SSH: ssh -p <port>


<username>@<hostname or IP address>
