 MSDOS:

Short for Microsoft Disk Operating System, MS-DOS is a non-graphical command

line operating system derived from 86-DOS that was created for IBM compatible
computers. MS-DOS originally written by Tim Paterson and introduced by Microsoft
in August 1981 and was last updated in 1994 when MS-DOS 6.22 was released.

Basic Networking commands in MSDOS:

IPCONFIG
PING
TRACERT
NETSTAT

PING command:

The ping command sends packets of data to a specific IP address on a network, andthen
lets you know how long it took to transmit that data and get a response. It’s a handy
tool that you can use to quickly test various points of your network. We use ping
google.com as shown in figure 2.1.

Figure 2.1
Then we ping the IP address 172.26.130.1 as shown in figure 2.2.

TRACERT command:

The Traceroute command (tracert) is a utility designed for displaying the time
ittakes for a packet of information to travel between a local computer and a
destination IP address or domain. As we the tracert command for IP address
172.26.130.1 as shown in figure 2.3.

Netstat command:

The netstat command generates displays that show network status and protocol
statistics. You can display the status of TCP and UDP endpoints in table format,
routing table information, and interface information. As we use the netstat
command as shown in figure 2.4 which show the different local and foreign
addresses.

IPCONFIG Command:

In Windows, ipconfig is a console application designed to run from the

Windows command prompt. This utility allows you to get the Ip address
information of a windows computer. It also allows some control over your
network adapters, IP addresses (DHCP-assigned specifically), even your
DNScache. We use ipconfig/r command as shown in figure 2.5.
