What are the network commands in linux

Linux has a variety of built-in network commands: 1. ping, used to test whether the TCP/IP network is smooth or test the network connection speed; 2. telnet, used to log in to the remote host and manage the remote host; 3. netstat, used to print status information of network systems in Linux; 4. ifconfig, etc.

#The operating environment of this tutorial: linux5.9.8 system, Dell G3 computer.

There are many kinds of network commands under Linux. Let me share with you some common network commands.

Common network commands under Linux

1. ping

The ping command is used to test whether the TCP/IP network is smooth or to test the network connection speed. It is very useful for determining whether the network is connected correctly and the status of the network connection. it works. Simply put, ping is a test program. If ping runs correctly, it can generally eliminate faults in the network access layer, network card, Modem input and output lines, cables and routers, thereby narrowing the scope of the problem.
The principle of the ping command is based on the unique IP address of the computer. When the user sends a data packet to the destination address, the other party will return a data packet of the same size. Based on the returned data packet, the user can determine the existence of the destination host. , and initially determine the operating system of the destination host.

Usage

(1)Command format

• ping (option) destination address

destination address Refers to the IP address, host name or domain name of the computer under test. The ping command contains 12 parameters, all parameters can be viewed by executing ping. As shown below:

(2) Example

Note: The ping command under Linux is different from the ping command under Windows. Ctrl C is required to terminate
(Linux The difference from the ping command under Windows)

##4 , ifconfig

The ifconfig command is used to configure and display the network parameters of the network interface in the Linux kernel. The network card information configured with the ifconfig command will no longer exist after the network card is restarted and the machine is restarted. If you want to store the above configuration information in your computer forever, you need to modify the configuration file of the network card.

Usage

• HWaddr represents the physical address of the network card, which is the MAC address. You can see that the current MAC address of this network card is: 00:0C:29:A7:C0:6C
• inet addr is used to represent the IP address of the network card. The IP address of this network card is: 192.168.1.106
• Broadcast address Bcast: 192.168.1.255
• Mask address Mask: 255.255.255.0

lo represents the loopback address of the host. This is generally used to test a network program, but does not want users on the LAN or external network to view it. It can only be run and viewed on this host. network interface.

5. route

# The route command is used to display and set the network routing table in the Linux kernel. The route command The routes set are mainly static routes.

It should be noted that executing the route command directly on the command line to add a route will not be saved permanently. When the network card is restarted or the machine is restarted, the route will become invalid; it can be added in
*/etc/rc. Add the route command to local to ensure that the routing settings are permanently valid.

Usage

(1) Command format

• route (option) (parameter)

( 2) Option

-A: Set the address type;
-C: Print the Linux core routing cache;

-host: The routing table to a host.

(3) Parameters

Add:Add the specified route record
Del:Delete the specified route Record
Target:Destination network or destination host
gw:Set the default gateway
mss:Set the maximum block length of TCP ( MSS), in MB
window:Specifies the TCP window size for TCP connections through the routing table
dev:The network interface represented by the routing record

(4) Example

Displays the current route. From the figure, you can see the change with option -n

Delete and add settings for the default gateway

6. The arp

#arp command is used to operate the host arp buffer and can display the arp buffer. All entries in the area, delete specified entries or add the correspondence between static IP addresses and MAC addresses

Usage

(1)Command format

• arp (Option) (Parameter)

(2) Option

-a:Display all entries of the arp buffer
-H

:

Specify the address type used by the arp instruction
-d:Removes the arp entry for the specified host from the arp buffer
-D:Uses the hardware address of the specified interface
-e: Display the entries in the arp buffer in Linux display style
-i: Specify the network interface to operate the arp buffer
-s: Sets a static mapping of the IP address and MAC address of the specified host
-n: Displays entries in the arp buffer numerically
-v:Display detailed arp buffer entries, including statistics of buffer entries
-f:Set the host's IP address and MAC Static mapping of addresses

(3) Parameters

• Host: Query the arp entry of the specified host in the arp buffer.

(4) Example

##7、traceroute

The traceroute command is used to trace the entire path of data packets when they are transmitted on the network. The default size of the data packets sent is 40 bytes.

Through traceroute, we can know how the information goes from your computer to the host at the other end of the Internet. What path. Of course, the path a data packet takes from the same starting point (source) to the same destination (destination) may be different every time, but basically the route taken is the same most of the time.
Traceroute measures how long it takes by sending small packets to the destination device until it returns. Each device on a path is traceroute tested three times. The output results include the time (ms) of each test and the name of the device (if any) and its IP address

Usage

(1) Command format

• traceroute (option) (parameter)

(2) option

-d: Use Socket level Troubleshooting function
-f:Set the survival value TTL size of the first detected packet
-F:Set not to disconnect Bit
-g:Set the source routing gateway, up to 8 can be set
-i:Use the specified network interface to send Packet
-l:Use ICMP response instead of UDP data information
-m:Set the maximum survival value TTL size of the detection packet
-n：Use the IP address directly instead of the host name
-p：Set the communication port of the UDP transmission protocol
- r：Ignore the ordinary Routing Table and send the data packet directly to the remote host
-s:Set the TOS value of the data packet sent by the local host
-v：Display the execution process of the command in detail
-w：Set the time to wait for the remote host to report back
-x： Turn on or off the correctness check of data packets

(3) Parameters

• Host: Specify the destination host IP address or host name

(4) Example

It can be seen from the figure that the records start from 1 according to the sequence number. Each record is a hop, and each hop represents a gateway. We You see that each line has three times, the unit is ms, which is actually the default parameter of -q. After the detection packet sends three packets to each gateway, the time it takes for the gateway to respond;
In the later part we will see that some lines are represented by asterisks. When this happens, it may be that the firewall blocks the ICMP return information, so we cannot get any relevant packet return data.
