Host networking commands of telnet tracert ipconfig arp netstat and nslookup

Some host networking commands are:

Telnet: Telnet stands for “teletype network”. It is a protocol that enables you to connect to a remote computer or device over a network. Telnet allows you to execute commands on the remote device as if you were sitting in front of it. You can use the telnet command followed by the IP address or hostname of the device you want to connect to.

Tracert: Tracert (short for “trace route”) is a command that allows you to trace the path of a packet from your computer to a remote host or website. Tracert sends packets to the remote host and records the IP addresses of each router or gateway that the packet passes through on its way to the destination. You can use the tracert command followed by the IP address or hostname of the remote host.

Ipconfig: Ipconfig is a command that displays the current IP configuration of a Windows computer. It shows you the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and other network configuration information. You can use the ipconfig command followed by the /all option to display all the details of your network configuration.

Arp: ARP stands for “Address Resolution Protocol”. It is a protocol that maps IP addresses to MAC addresses on a local network. The arp command displays and modifies the ARP cache on your computer. You can use the arp command followed by the -a option to display the contents of the ARP cache.

Netstat: Netstat (short for “network statistics”) is a command that displays information about network connections and network protocols on your computer. The netstat command can show you a list of open ports, active network connections, and other network statistics. You can use the netstat command followed by various options to display different types of information.

Nslookup: Nslookup is a command-line tool that allows you to query DNS (Domain Name System) servers to resolve domain names to IP addresses and vice versa. Nslookup displays the IP address of the specified domain name and can also display other DNS information, such as the name and IP address of the DNS server being used. You can use the nslookup command followed by the domain name or IP address you want to query.
