$traceroute ip-address
Output

4. netstat
Netstat (Network Statistic) command displays interfaces, connection information, routing table information etc.

$netstat
Output :

Execute it with the following options and write the output:

$ nmap <server-ip-address>

Output :

9. tcpdump

Tcpdump prints out a description of the contents of packets on a network interface that match the boolean expression; the description is preceded by a time stamp, printed, by default, as hours, minutes, seconds, and fractions of a second since midnight.

Sample output for ARP protocol:

arp who-has 128.3.254.6 tell 128.3.254.68 arp reply 128.3.254.6 is-at 02:07:01:00:01:c4
