Network management commands for macOS

[einfomail]

Hi,

For Windows, there many commands for network management like hostname, getmac, ping, ipconfig, tracert, pathping, arp, route, netstat, nbtstat, nslookup, netdiag, netsh, etc.

Please let us know,

1. How to use these commands in macOS?
2. What are other commands for managing and troubleshooting networking?

With Regards

Macs have several of these commands which you can use in the Terminal app. You can type man (command) (without the parentheses) and press return to get the manual of how to use each individual command. I don't specialize in networking, so I don't have an exhaustive list of commands, sorry.

Get your UNIX on, and go for it. Nice lists here and here and the complete list can be had per here.

If you want network settings in Mac OS learn learn to use NetworkSetup and run a manual on that to learn about setting up a network on modern Mac!
