The following slides will be presented in class, but
aren't going to be much use I suspect for a review
without the lecture/commentary to go with them. However,
I would suggest that if you missed the lecture, take
a look at the first slide and try and familiarize yourself
with either the man pages or on-line files for the files
and commands listed. That is of course, assuming you have
a UNIX system available to you. In summary, the
netstat, ifconfig, and arp commands are probably the most
important of what is listed here. Look at their man pages
with; for example,
% man netstat
You should also familiarize yourself with the arp table
and routing table "dumping" commands ( arp -a
and netstat -rn on SunOs).
If you don't have a UNIX system, explore whatever system you do have available to you and see what it offers in the way of information about network system, routing setup, arp table, etc.
By clicking the above thumbnail page images, you can peruse the slides. For comparison, you can grab the BIG (41K) sysinfo.ps which generated this tree of html and gif files.
