C:\Users\chui3>tracert www.google.com

(the DNS name)

-or-

C:\Users\chui3>tracert 74.125.224.52

(the IP address of the host you're looking for)

At a command prompt, what do you type to use the tracert command?

C:\Users\chui3>ipconfig /all

At a command prompt, what do you type to use the ipconfig command in order to see the physical (MAC) address and the lease obtained/expires dates?

C:\Users\chui3>ipconfig /release

and then immediately

C:\Users\chui3>ipconfig /renew

What commands do you type when you want to get new TCP/IP connection for your host?

For Linux/Unix/Mac OSs, it provides TCP/IP information similar to that provided by ipconfig for the Windows OS.

What is the purpose of the ifconfig utility?

ping

tracert

What two popular command line

utilities can ICMP relate to?

When pinging an IP address, the switch causes

the return message to show the host name.

What additional information does the -a switch

provide when used with the ping command?

Using the switch causes the ping to continue until stopped.  When a new host is being brought on-line, pinging with this switch will return an error until the host is functioning.  When the error stops and a good ping is indicated, this alerts the technician that the new host is ready for additional action, if needed.

What is a practical use for

the -t switch with the ping command?

ping localhost

ping 127.0.0.1

What are two ways to ping your local host?

ARP - Address Resolution Protocol

What protocol is used to translate TCP/IP addresses to MAC addresses using broadcasts?

The -a and -g switches.

What two arp switches display current ARP table entries?

-s = add address

-d = delete address

When using a static ARP table, what two arp switches are used to add and delete host addresses, respectively?

nslookup

What utility allows your to query a DNS name server and quickly find out which name resolves to which IP address?

Your DNS server is not working and you need to

take action to get it going again as quickly as possible.

When your nslookup command returns this reply,

"NS request timed out."

What is it actually telling you?

pathping

What is the Windows equivalent of the

Linux or Unix mtr program that

combines the functions of

the tracert and ping utilities?

To create a firewall.

What is probably the biggest reason for manipulating the routing table on a Windows server?

C:\Users\chui3>route print

What is the command to display the

contents of your host's routing table?

nbtstat -a

What command and switch produces the following?
