1. Aim: To troubleshoot Network using PING, TRACERT, IPCONFIG, NSLOOKUP commands.
2. Tool Used: Cisco Packet Tracer
3. Theory: Open command prompt and run following commands as directed:
“ipcon g” displays the current information about your network such as your your IP and MAC
address, and the IP address of your router. It can also display information about your DHCP and DNS
servers. Let’s see the basic output of “ipcon g”:
The “ping” command ping command allows you to send a signal to another device, and if that device is
active, it will send a response back to the sender. The “ping” command is a subset of the ICMP (Internet
Control Message Protocol), and it uses what is called an “echo request”. So, when you ping a device
you send out an echo request, and if the device you pinged is active or online, you get an echo
response.
“Tracert” command lets you see all steps a packet takes to the destination. For example, if we send a
packet to www.google.com, it actually goes through a couple of routers to reach the destination. The
packet will rst go to your router, and then it will go to all kinds of different routers before it reaches
Google servers. We can also use the term “hops” instead of routers. Let’s run the command and see
what kind of results we get.
The “nslookup” command will fetch the DNS records for a given domain name or an IP address.
Remember the IP addresses and domain names are stored in DNS servers, so the nslookup command
lets you query the DNS records to gather information.
