Network Information Skill
Use this skill to explore network configuration and connectivity on Linux systems.
Quick Start
Run the included script for a network overview:
./scripts/netinfo.sh
Manual Commands
Network Interfaces
ip addrorip a- Show all network interfaces and IP addressesip link- Show interface status (up/down)cat /sys/class/net/*/address- MAC addresses
Routing
ip route- Show routing tableip route get 8.8.8.8- Show route to a specific destination
DNS Configuration
cat /etc/resolv.conf- DNS serverscat /etc/hosts- Local host mappingssystemd-resolve --status- DNS status (systemd systems)
Active Connections
ss -tuln- Show listening TCP/UDP portsss -tupn- Show established connections with process infocat /proc/net/tcp- Raw TCP connection data
Network Statistics
ip -s link- Interface statistics (bytes, packets, errors)cat /proc/net/dev- Network device statistics
Tips
- Use
ipcommands (modern) overifconfig/netstat(deprecated) - The
-nflag prevents DNS lookups for faster output - Check
ss -tulnto see what services are listening
