Chapter 13: Troubleshooting network connectivity Unit objectives • Identify TCP/IP troubleshooting tools • Discuss the Telnet utility and its functions • Discuss the functions the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) utility • Diagnose a problem and choose the appropriate troubleshooting tools Topic A • • • • Topic A: TCP/IP troubleshooting tools Topic B: Telnet Topic C: File Transfer Protocol Topic D: Troubleshooting examples TCP/IP troubleshooting tools • • • • • • • • • • • ARP HOSTNAME IPCONFIG WINIPCFG IFCONFIG NBTSTAT NETSTAT NSLOOKUP PING TRACERT ROUTE ARP (and RARP) • ARP supports All TCP/IP clients • Helps a host to find – the MAC address of another host – on the same internetwork, – if appropriate host’s IP address is given • RARP is used to find a host’s own IP address, when it’s own MAC address is known. – For a “network boot”. TCP/IP Utilities • • • • • • Ping Traceroute or tracert Arp Netstat Nbtstat (NetBIOS names) Many more…. Ping pinging Tracert Arp protocol Short for Address Resolution Protocol, a TCP/IP protocol used to convert an IP address into a physical address, such as an Ethernet address. A host wishing to obtain a physical address broadcasts an ARP request onto the TCP/IP network. The host on the network that has the IP address in the request then replies with its physical hardware address. There is also Reverse ARP (RARP) which can be used by a host to discover its IP address. In this case, the host broadcasts its physical address and a RARP server replies with the host's IP address.

DIG – an example PING • Supports all TCP/IP clients • Verifies connections to one or more remote computers TRACERT • Supports all TCP/IP clients • Used to trace the route that a packet takes to reach the destination TRACERT – an example ROUTE • Supports all TCP/IP clients • Used to manage static routing tables Activity A-3 page 13-15 Discussing NSLOOKUP, DIG, TRACERT, PING, and ROUTE Topic B • • • • Topic A: TCP/IP troubleshooting tools Topic B: Telnet Topic C: File Transfer Protocol Topic D: Troubleshooting examples Telnet • Supports dumb terminal connection and emulation with remote servers • Telnet provides access through terminal emulation to any host running a Telnet daemon service • Used for remote configuration of hubs and routers Telnet utility on Windows NT/2000/XP/Server 2003 • When TCP/IP is installed on a Windows NT/2000/XP/Server 2003 station, Telnet is added to the system Troubleshooting with Telnet • Telnet is a powerful diagnostic tool • It provides a way of sending commands directly to a server process and viewing the results when higher-level protocols or applications appear to be failing Activity B-1 Discussing Telnet page 13-17 Topic C • • • • Topic A: TCP/IP troubleshooting tools Topic B: Telnet Topic C: File Transfer Protocol Topic D: Troubleshooting examples File Transfer Protocol • File Transfer Protocol (FTP) transfers text and binary files between systems, including dissimilar platforms • Performs a format and type conversion on the file • Supports all TCP/IP clients • Can be used interactively at the command prompt or in a script (batch) file FTP commands • • • • • • help [command] quit or bye ascii binary get put Activity C-1 page 13-19 Discussing File Transfer Protocol Topic D • • • • Topic A: TCP/IP troubleshooting tools Topic B: Telnet Topic C: File Transfer Protocol Topic D: Troubleshooting examples Troubleshooting examples • TCP/IP suite of utilities can be used to troubleshoot: – Routers – E-mail system – MAC address – Overlapping scopes Activity D-1 Troubleshooting sample problems Unit summary • Identified TCP/IP troubleshooting tools • Discussed the Telnet utility and its functions • Discussed the functions the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) utility • Learned to diagnose a problem and choose the appropriate troubleshooting tools
