Answer 1

Hi,

Below is the answer-

1. ARP -

Displays and modifies entries in the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache, which contains one or more tables that are used to store IP addresses and their resolved Ethernet or Token Ring physical addresses. There is a separate table for each Ethernet or Token Ring network adapter installed on your computer. Used without parameters, arp displays help.

Syntax

arp [-a [InetAddr] [-N IfaceAddr]] [-g [InetAddr] [-N IfaceAddr]] [-d InetAddr [IfaceAddr]] [-s InetAddr EtherAddr [IfaceAddr]]

Results-

2. Hostname-

Displays the host name portion of the full computer name of the computer.

Syntax

hostname

3. Pathping-

Provides information about network latency and network loss at intermediate hops between a source and destination. Pathping sends multiple Echo Request messages to each router between a source and destination over a period of time and then computes results based on the packets returned from each router.

4. nslookup-

To verify that DNS servers can resolve external domain names, use the Nslookup tool. Displays information that you can use to diagnose Domain Name System (DNS) infrastructure.
