  • Introduction to Computer Networking
    www.PDHcenter.com PDH Course E175 www.PDHonline.org Introduction to Computer Networking Dale Callahan, Ph.D., P.E. MODULE 7: Fun Experiments 7.1 Introduction This chapter will introduce you to some networking experiments that will help you improve your understanding and concepts of networks. (The experiments assume you are using Windows, but Apple, Unix, and Linux systems will have similar commands.) These experiments can be performed on any computer that has Internet connectivity. The commands can be used from the command line using the command prompt window. The commands that can be used are ping, tracert, netstat, nslookup, ipconfig, route, ARP etc. 7.2 PING PING is a network tool that is used on TCP/IP based networks. It stands for Packet INternet Groper. The idea is to verify if a network host is reachable from the site where the PING command issued. The ping command uses the ICMP to verify if the network connections are intact. When a PING command is issued, a packet of 64 bytes is sent to the destination computer. The packet is composed of 8 bytes of ICMP header and 56 bytes of data. The computer then waits for a reply from the destination computer. The source computer receives a reply if the connection between the two computers is good. Apart from testing the connection, it also gives the round trip time for a packet to return to the source computer and the amount of packet loss [19]. In order to run the PING command, go to Start ! Run and in the box type “cmd”.

  • An Introduction to DNS and DNS Tools
    An Introduction to DNS and DNS Tools http://0-delivery.acm.org.innopac.lib.ryerson.ca/10.1145/380000/374803... An Introduction to DNS and DNS Tools Neil Anuskiewicz Abstract The explosive growth of the Internet was made possible, in part, by DNS. The domain name system (DNS) hums along behind the scenes and, as with running water, we largely take it for granted. That this system just works is a testament to the hackers who designed and developed DNS and the open-source package called Bind, thereby introducing a scalable Internet to the world. Before DNS and Bind, /etc/hosts was the only way to translate IP addresses to human-friendly hostnames and vice versa. This article will introduce the concepts of DNS and three commands with which you can examine DNS information: host, dig and nslookup. The DNS is a distributed, hierarchical database where authority flows from the top (or root) of the hierarchy downward. When Linux Journal registered linuxjournal.com, they got permission from an entity that had authority at the root or top level. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and a domain name registrar, transferred authority for linuxjournal.com to Linux Journal, which now has the authority to create subdomains such as embedded.linuxjournal.com, without the involvement of ICANN and a domain name registrar. When trying to understand the structure of the DNS, think of an inverted tree--the very structure of the UNIX filesystem. Each branch of the tree is within a zone of authority; more than one branch of this tree can be within a single zone.

    You can’t do that with nslookup: A DNS(SEC) troubleshooting tutorial Michael Sinatra Energy Sciences Network NANOG 53 Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory U.S. Department of Energy | Office of Science What this tutorial is about • Learning how to use advanced tools to troubleshoot DNS and DNSSEC issues. • dig • dnscap/nmsg • dnsviz • others • Understanding DNS and DNSSEC pitfalls and where you can get into trouble. • Understanding how DNSSEC complicates the DNS picture. • Learning how basic troubleshooting techniques can help you solve complex problems. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory U.S. Department of Energy | Office of Science What this tutorial is not about • An introduction to DNS. • An introduction to DNSSEC. (See Matt Larson’s excellent DNSSEC tutorial from NANOG 51 or earlier today.) • A commentary on the “complexity” of DNSSEC and why we should throw up our arms and run away (we definitely shouldn’t). • A discussion of DNS and/or DNSSEC implementations, and/or of automation tools for DNSSEC. • I assume a working knowledge of DNS, and also of UNIX, its command line, and how to install and/or compile packages in your favorite modern UNIX variant. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory U.S. Department of Energy | Office of Science Why? • You’re here, so you probably have an answer in your head. • In most organizations DNS is a part-time job. • Sometimes it barely works. • Sometimes it doesn’t really work but there’s nobody to fix it. • Even if your organization has a competent DNS person, your users have to get to other people’s resources. • Ever hear the complaint “I can resolve www.foo.com from {home, $ISP, $other_company} but not here.

  • Part I - Gathering WHOIS Information
    Part I - Gathering WHOIS Information Exercise 1: command-line WHOIS queries: in the following exercise you will use a Linux system to perform WHOIS lookups from a command-line. This requires outbound TCP port 43 access. As mentioned in the lecture discussion, ICANN is the authoritative registry for all top-level domains (TLDs) and is a great starting point for all manual WHOIS queries. NOTE: in practice, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) handles the day-to-day operations, which is located online at www.iana.org. 1. Start your BackTrack VM 2. Make sure you are connected to the Internet 3. Open a Linux shell 4. At the prompt, type the following (only type what's in bold): user1@bt:~$ whois net -h whois.iana.org | less Syntax breakdown: whois: command name net: search the .net TLD -h whois.iana.org: connect to server whose hostname is whois.iana.org (which is the authoritative registry for all TLDs) | less: send the output to the less paging program so you can view the results one page at a time. Use your up/down arrows to scroll text on the screen. 5. Who is the authoritative registry for .net? What is their WHOIS server domain name? 6. At the Linux prompt, type the following (only type what's in bold): user1@bt:~$ whois intermedia.net -h whois.verisign-grs.com | less Syntax breakdown: whois: command name intermedia.net: target domain you’re interested in finding out registrar information on -h whois.verisign-grs.com: connect to server whose hostname is VeriSign Global Registry Services (which is VeriSign's WHOIS server) | less: send the output to the less paging program so you can view the results one page at a time 7.

  • IP/Networking Commands
    IP/Networking Commands There are a lot of IP commands with short descriptions listed here but you should only need the ones mentioned here at the top of the page to diagnose and configure your network. C:>ping C:>ipconfig C:>ipconfig /all C:>ipconfig /release C:>ipconfig /renew C:\>nbtstat –a Remember when typing from the command prompt you can only type one command per line, and press Enter after each one to execute it. C:\>arp –a: is short for address resolution protocol, It will show the IP address of your computer along with the IP address and MAC address of your router. C:\>hostname: This is the simplest of all TCP/IP commands. It simply displays the name of your computer. C:\>ipconfig: The ipconfig command displays information about the host (the computer your sitting at)computer TCP/IP configuration. C:\>ipconfig /all: This command displays detailed configuration information about your TCP/IP connection including Router, Gateway, DNS, DHCP, and type of Ethernet adapter in your system. C:\>Ipconfig /renew: Using this command will renew all your IP addresses that you are currently (leasing) borrowing from the DHCP server. This command is a quick problem solver if you are having connection issues, but does not work if you have been configured with a static IP address. C:\>Ipconifg /release: This command allows you to drop the IP lease from the DHCP server. C:\>ipconfig /flushdns: This command is only needed if you’re having trouble with your networks DNS configuration. The best time to use this command is after network configuration frustration sets in, and you really need the computer to reply with flushed.

  • Useful DOS Commands
    Useful DOS Commands Analyzing and troubleshooting computers and network can be difficult when problem arise. One can look at the Windows event viewer for warning and error event messages. Enough times these event messages can be informative. But it may not show the cause for errors or performance issues without further investigation. The network could be bogged down between computers and the server. The computer system could be problematic beside possible hard drive warnings and CLSID/APPID issues. The Windows operating system contain built-in tools as networking command line utilities that users and administrators could use to help troubleshoot. There are 11 built-in commands but the NbtStat has been depreciated since 2000 and NetDiag has been depreciated since Windows XP. Both will not be talked about here. • Ping • NetStat • NbtStat - depreciated • ARP • Hostname • Tracert • Ipconfig • NSLookup • Route • PathPing • NetDiag - depreciated The information below sufficiently describe these most commonly used commands. For more in- depth use, additional search may be required. Ping (Packet Internet Groper) Ping command is the most familiar and commonly used utility. It helps in determining the possible issues with the network both local and Internet. Ping is used to test the ability of one network host to communicate with another basically at the TCP/IP level. To use, open the command prompt then enter the Ping command, followed by the domain name or the IP address of the destination host. TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is a set of rules (protocols to be exact) that governs communication among all computers on the network and Internet.
